“You know someone is very, very bright but are they to their potential? You may see that they lean or tilt when they’re reading or writing and that’s one great way to get rid of one eye because you get your nose in the way if you tilt to one side, or you cover an eye, or you let your hair cover an eye… You just look at how they’re doing things. When we say 20/20, you’re fine. Fine for what? Are they rubbing their eye, do they get carsick, do they fall asleep with reading?” – Dr. Nancy Torgerson
