Having “good vision” is more than just the coveted 20/20 line, it’s also how well your eyes coordinate together, how well you can track a line of text without losing your place, and how well you can understand and make sense of what you see. These are all issues glasses alone cannot fix. Dr. Kiriboon is a firm believer in early detection and intervention for young patients that may have underlying visual needs.
