Once Upon a Diagnosis

A Parent's Guide To Children's Vision Challenges

Welcome to the Once Upon a Diagnosis Journal where you will find heartfelt, research-driven articles that explain complex (yet highly treatable) vision diagnoses, like myopia, amblyopia, strabismus, convergence issues, among many more.

We also explore how vision problems are often mistaken for ADHD, why early eye exams matter more than school screenings, and how to balance screen time with developing eyes.

Every post is designed to feel like a conversation. We make a point of steering away from clinical mumble jumble and help you make sense of words you may never have heard and have no idea what they mean.

Our simple goal is to offer magical insight, simple language, and support for every step of your family’s vision journey.
