		<description><![CDATA[President Abraham Lincoln had a rugged, somewhat homely look. Now scientists say that Lincoln&#8217;s face, which it&#8217;s said was often the brunt of ridicule, was distorted due to a medical condition called cranial facial microsomia.

The exercise trains him to move his eyes inward and stay focused on an object. Mark has been diagnosed with convergence insufficiency, which means the eyes don't turn in enough to get a clear, single image.

Vaughn said that 20/20 eyesight, which means that an individual can see a certain size letter at 20 feet, is only part of a larger picture.

"While seeing clearly at 20 feet away is important, it actually has little to do with how our vision systems are used while reading," she said.

Vaughn said, most of the time, children are not aware they are seeing incorrectly, so the condition often goes untreated or even misdiagnosed as ADD or ADHD.]]></description>
