The Baltimore Reading and Eye Disease Study (BREDS) is a two year study to determine the
prevalence of vision problems in an early school age population with reading difficulty.
Comprehensive vision and reading tests will be administered to 400 students at participating
schools in the Baltimore City Public School system.
A secondary goal is to examine the impact of vision treatment on reading performance.
Children with refractive error or convergence insufficiency will be provided treatment free
of charge. The investigators will evaluate the impact that the treatment has on vision
function and reading performance.
