Struggling at School?

Does your child have trouble keeping focus in school? Do they lack the hand-eye coordination necessary for most sports? If yes, it’s possible your child’s talents are hiding behind a vision problem. We understand the connection between vision and learning, and will work together with you to find a solution.

Patching may not be enough

Patching the ‘good’ eye to improve the ‘lazy’ eye is still the gold standard treatment for improving visual acuity.  However, most parents don’t realise that patching doesn’t teach both eyes to work together as a team.  Many children who have a lazy eye also benefit from vision therapy to improve depth perception and eye co-ordination.  These are important skills when it comes to reading.
Brain

Is it really ADD/ADHD or dyslexia?

Did you know that children can be misdiagnosed with ADD/ ADHD and dyslexia, when in reality they may be struggling with visual skills difficulties instead?

Is Eye Surgery Necessary?

Strabismic eye surgery can be avoided!  Surgery  may only improve the cosmetic appearance of an eye  turn without actually helping the overall eye function. For a child with an eye turn, vision therapy is an option we can explore which may help your child  achieve better control of the eyes and appear straight.

The board is blurry at school...

Myopia (or shortsightedness) is fast becoming a worldwide epidemic with Australia fast catching up.  Up to 31% of young Australians are now myopic compared to up to 90% in part of asia.  Our optometrists advocate myopia control options to slow down the progression.  There are many more solutions which can help your child more effectively than just distance spectacles.  

The greatest gift we can give is the gift of vision that helps improve the quality of life. As a behavioural optometrist, I am fortunate to be in a position that allows me to help people with real vision problems.
