text: behavioural vision - similar to dyslexia - my 7 year old? my child has been diagnosed with an eye behavioural problem - i am told it is similar to dyslexia. has anyone any experience with this or have an advice on how to help him. he has problems reading and writing because of this and it breaks my heart to see him struggle when he tries so hard. the only advice i can give you is be careful of people promising radical cures and charging big bucks for the cure.  try some of the dyslexia cures like writing with different colored inks on different colored paper. red on blue or black on pink seem to help. you would need to experiment. also see if covering an eye helps.  from what i have read your son will need to do exercises to improve his vision problems. the british link below offers on-line exercises. i suggest that you follow up with them.
