Fischer article hits major news/media organizations for hundreds of thousands of visit views

As Editor of Optometry & Vision Development (the Official Journal of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development), I just heard that information/news releases about the following articles

Fischer B, Gebhardt C, Hartnegg K. Subitizing and Visual Counting in Children with Problems in Acquiring Basic Arithmetic Skills. Optom Vis Dev 2008:39(1):24-29.

Fischer B, Köngeter A, Hartnegg K. Effects of Daily Practice on Subitizing, Visual Counting, and Basic Arithmetic Skills. Optom Vis Dev 2008:39(1):30-34.

were picked up by those media/news agencies listed below. The end result was that more than a million visitors to these sites had a chance to read about these articles and the link between vision and math skills.

If you've written for OVD, we will continue to get the word out about the great work you do.....if you haven't yet written a research/clinical article for Optometry & Vision Development, please consider doing so and submit it to dmaino@ico.edu for peer review and hopefully ... publication. Thanks for all you do!
