When we look at words on a page, our eyes receive information about the dark lines and curves that make up numbers and letters and the white space that gives each number and letter their distinctive look. Visual processing difficulties arise when the information from the eye to the brain is somehow incomplete or distorted.

This difficulty often manifests as uneven spacing between letters and words, or number and letter reversals where “2” becomes “5” and “b” becomes “d”.
