How Do Vision And Hand-eye Coordination Correlate?(Sep 18, 2011)
From the moment we are born we begin exploring the world and our own physical and mental abilities within this world. Grasping the ability to coordinate what you see, the thought of what you want to do with what you see, and then the necessary action, is known as hand-eye coordination and applies to every single task that we do in this world, such as typing, cooking, picking something up, moving something and so on. Lets take a step back to systematically understand the process:Vision allows one to see what they are doing, focus on important objects, aim ones sight accordingly and so on. Whats more important is that vision allows us to see what we are doing and ensure that it is, indeed what we had planned and how our mind intended it to be. For example, we see a tree and we want to draw that tree followed right through to the completion of the drawing on paper. Fine motor skills are the ability to control small muscle movements. This means that we know what we want to do and our minds work in accordance with the action, allowing us to follow through and complete it. For example, when a child learns to use a scissors he must learn how to actually hold the scissors and complete the action of cutting.Hand-eye coordination is the working together of ones vision and fine motor skills in order to actually complete tasks. This means knowing what one wants to do, using ones controlled muscles to carry out the action, while all the time using ones visual ability to ensure that the task is carried out as expected. For example, learning how to drive. You must know what you intends to do and where you intend to go; using your muscles to drive the car; and using your visual ability to ensure that one is going in the right direction, is driving safely and so on.This journey begins the moment that babies are able to focus and continues right through ones life. As the months and years go on, hand-eye coordination becomes fluid and natural without any forethought; however, every action we carry out, every day, is a result of having mastered this skill.In some cases, unfortunately, one finds that some children are unable to master this skill. They will usually have problems holding a pen properly, drawing outside of the lines in a coloring book, and sometimes also an inability to build with blocks, or manipulate toys correctly. Although movement disorders may be the cause; in most cases these problems are caused by a visual disability that needs urgent attention.Vision problems vary from a lack of ability to focus; imperfect distance vision; inability to see depth as necessary and so on. No matter what the condition, just one problem can slow down ones mastery of hand-eye coordination. This is true for infants just as it is true for anyone else who loses a level of visual ability - no matter at what age. As any medical textbook will quote, visual impairment affects ones hand-eye coordination, in addition to a range of other physical developments.Parents are encouraged to assist their childrens development of hand-eye coordination by encouraging all motion-based activities such as puzzles, fitting things together, and blocks and so on. The more involved the parent is, the quicker he/she will be able to pick up subtle problems and have them attended to before they reach critical levels.In todays world, eye examinations have advanced to such a degree that one can evaluate a childs eyeglasses prescription from a very young age; as well as any optical impairments and diseases. In most cases, these are also easily treatable if caught in time and dealt with appropriately - whether it means that the parent should buy glasses for their child; or that the child need undergo surgery or other such medical treatment. Parents are warned to be on the look-out and act quickly. There is no reason why a visual problem should adversely affect their children.

ensure it's dark chocolate. This is a far better choice versus milk chocolate, with lots of antioxidants and iron.
