After controlling for the role of sociodemographic variables, poorer self - reported vision was independently associated with more functional limitations, feelings of social isolation, and depressive symptomatology and poorer visual acuity predicted more functional limitations.

In 2007, researchers reported in the journal Early Human Development that children who had received no DHA in formula or breast milk during the first 17 weeks of life had poorer visual acuity at age 4, and did worse on language tests showing verbal IQ, than those who fed breast milk.

Reading is a multifactorial process that is influenced by psychological, physiological, environmental, sociological and linguistic factors.1, 2 From an optometrist's perspective, a decrease in reading ability may be associated with poor visual acuity, unstable binocular vision, or ocular disease.3 It is therefore important that people with poor reading comprehension receive a comprehensive oculo - visual assessment.
