We recently found out that Joey has a condition called "Convergence Insufficiency". Basically, when she is doing tasks up close her eyes do not work together to focus as they should. They both want to focus on a different point. This causes lots of problems with reading and writing. The words and letters appear blurry, and seem to move in and out of focus. This is likely the cause of her dyslexia. Now she has a new pair of specs that should help a bit. Her vision is still 20/20, so these just have a prism in them to help them work together more efficiently. Here is Joey showing off her new glasses.
