Is there an eye condition which causes people to have an above average eye sight?

You are describing vertical diplopia or double vision. There are many causes of this. Sometimes it is from a hard hit to the head earlier in life or trauma during the birthing process. Sometimes it is congenital (you were born with it). Regardless of the cause, it is treatable. The treatment is vision therapy. Pediatric optometrists who specialize in behavioral optometry and vision therapy perform special tests not done during a regular eye exam. Then they prescribe a program of vision therapy to eliminate the double vision. It is imparitive that you treat this because it has a huge impact on reading and learning. Specifically, it affects reading speed and reading comprehension. Children with this vision problem can remember and understand everything when someone reads aloud to them, but have difficulty when they have to read independently. It also causes problems with attention. These children will have a hard time reading for a long period of time. They many have difficulty paying at
