Treat existing visual problems such as amblyopia (lazy eye), eye alignment problems, eye coordination problems, poorly sustained near focus, inadequate eye-hand coordination and immature perceptual development
-
Enhance the efficiency and comfort of visual function
-
Help prevent some visual problems
OUR SERVICES
Vision therapy is a fun supervised individual program designed to improve; spatial awareness; body awareness; visual-motor and visual perception deficiencies; the brains ability to control eye alignment, eye movements, focusing ability and eye co-ordination; and, the way the brain uses the eyes to receive information effectively, comprehend it quickly and react appropriately

Dyslexia is not a disease! The word dyslexia comes from the Greek language and means “difficulty with words”. Individuals with dyslexia have trouble reading and spelling despite having the ability to learn.
Babies are born with primitive reflexes e.g. sucking reflex and grasp reflex. These reflexes are normally supressed after the first year of life. If they are retained, this can affect neurological development and learning.
Brain hemispheric disconnection is an imbalance between the right and left brain hemispheres. This imbalance can significantly affect learning is believed to be a strong link to dyslexia.
Behavioural Optometry involves an understanding of VISION and how it is different from EYESIGHT. EYESIGHT simply involves seeing an eyechart on the wall, while Behavioural Optometry is more interested in VISION.
Although the majority of Behavioural Optometrists' patients are children, Behavioural Optometry may be suitable for patients of any age.
