Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Billy most likely has nearsightedness, as he improved academically and socially when moved to the front of the class after a vision screening. Nearsightedness makes it difficult to see distant objects clearly, which would have impacted Billy's ability to read the board and participate in class. Astigmatism and farsightedness may also impact vision, but they don't necessarily cause difficulty seeing the board from a distance. Visual occlusion is not a type of vision problem, but rather a treatment for certain types of vision problems.
