A special episode of See It Differently.
Dr. Justin Chelette announces the release of The Functional Vision Evaluation — a clinical course for optometrists who were never taught how to think through functional vision patients.
Filmed live in a real exam lane with no script and no production team, the course covers the developmental case history, preliminary testing, functional refraction and phorometry, diagnostic pattern recognition, the patient consultation, and functional lens and prism prescribing. Nine video modules, approximately six hours of instruction, and three companion workbooks included.
If you have been avoiding binocular vision patients because nobody ever showed you how to think through them — this episode is for you.

Why Your Child Skips Lines When Reading (And What It Actually Means)
Your kid loses their place, skips lines, reads the same sentence twice and you've been told it's laziness, or inattention, or maybe dyslexia? In this episode, we're reframing all of it.
The truth? Line-skipping is often an oculomotor control problem, a mechanics issue with how the eyes move across a page, and it's one of the most overlooked and most treatable contributors to reading difficulty in children.
We break down the difference between a tracking problem and an attention problem (they look identical from the outside, but they're not), explain why dyslexia shouldn't be your first assumption, and walk you through exactly what to watch for the next time your child sits down with a book.
You'll leave this episode knowing what questions to ask, what a proper evaluation actually looks like, and why the finger on the line isn't laziness, it's compensation.
In this episode:→ Why reading is a motor skill, not just a language skill→ Saccades, fixation, and the "slideshow" your brain runs every time you read→ Tracking vs. attention: how to tell the difference→ What actually points toward dyslexia — and what doesn't→ The evaluation path most families never get directed to

Why Your Child Reverses Letters (And When to Worry)
Your six-year-old keeps writing b's as d's. Your second-grader still flips numbers. You've been down the late-night Google rabbit hole and now you're not sure whether to call the school, make an appointment, or just wait it out.
In this episode, we untangle one of the most misunderstood topics in early childhood development: letter and number reversals. We talk about why reversals are completely normal in young writers, what's actually happening in the brain when a child can't tell a "b" from a "d," and, crucially, what shifts that from a developmental phase into something worth investigating.
We also tackle the dyslexia question directly, because the answer is more nuanced than most people realize. Reversals and dyslexia are not the same thing, and conflating them leads parents either to panic prematurely or miss what's actually going on.
Plus: where visual processing fits into all of this, what a behavioral optometry evaluation actually looks for, and the questions that matter more than reversal frequency alone.
If your child is in early elementary and you've ever wondered whether something is "off", this one's for you.
