Good eye coordination means that each eye works well with the other. Though each eye sees an image that slightly differs from the other, they play as a team. Your brain combines the two images and make them into a three-dimensional view. Weak eye coordination is due to inadequate vision growth or eye muscle control that developed inadequately.

Indications that a pair of eyes are poorly coordinated include headaches, vertigo, grumpiness, double vision, eye fatigue, and problems reading and concentrating. A child with poor eye synchronization has a tendency to not perform well in sports, lose his place while reading, tire easily, cover one eye, evade undertakings that require up-close work, get headaches and have trouble concentrating.
Unfortunately, poor eye coordination can be hard to identify. The American Optometric Association advises that children get a full eye exams when they’re 6 months old and again at 3. A doctor of optometry will include an evaluation of their eye synchronization. The optometrist can treat poor coordination with eyeglasses and/or vision therapy. Synchronization can improve when farsightedness (hyperopia) and nearsightedness (myopia) are corrected. Occasionally, surgery may be needed.
