Visual Processing Disorder

Visual processing disorder (VPD) is a neurological condition in which the brain has trouble interpreting and making sense of visual information received from the eyes, despite clear eyesight. Visual-processing challenges are about function: how you take in, interpret, and act upon the world around you. These difficulties commonly go overlooked, even in conventional eye exams, because standard tests usually focus on acuity.
