Summary
Until recently, vitamin deficiency was considered a phenomenon observed in animals fed experimental diets, or a syndrome prevalent only in countries where choice of foods was extremely limited. At present, however, it is recognised that vitamin deficiencies are widespread in occurrence and that subclinical deficiencies which warrant specific dietary therapy with proper foods are still more prevalent. We have tried to show how these vitamin deficiencies affect the human eye and vision.
Current approaches dealing with visual training for children with perceptualmotor learning problems are described. The conclusion is drawn that an understanding of multi-causes, multi-symptoms, and multi-remedial methods is needed to diagnose most effectively and remediate a learning disorder. A perceptual-motor problem is seldom found in isolation, but usually in conjunction with other symptoms and causative factors. To treat only one aspect of a problem is to court disaster. A multi-disciplinary approach synthesizing clinical services with scientific verification should provide the most effective help for children with learning problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
