EYE EXAMINATIONS - CHILDREN

With approximately 1 in 5 Australian children suffering from an undetected vision problem, it is important to be aware of the possible signs of a vision problem to give every child the best chance of reaching their full learning potential.

BOOK AN EYE TEST

Good vision is important for a child’s educational, physical and social development.

Optometry Australia recommends that children have a full eye examination with an optometrist before starting school and regularly as they progress through primary and secondary school.

Our Optometrist Glen McGlip understands that children often have different eye problems than adults. He has completed a Masters in Behavioural Optometry at UNSW and a Fellowship in Behavioural Optometry at the Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrists, the highest qualification attainable.

Allow 30-45 minutes to have your child’s functional vision thoroughly checked. Visual perceptual testing and therapy is available for children who are having learning difficulties.

To make an appointment with our friendly staff today phone 9528 6991.

Functional Vision

Learning requires efficient visual function. Eye movements, focusing (accommodation) and ocular alignment at different distances (vergence) are visual skills necessary for success in the classroom.
Learning

The importance of vision in learning should not be underestimated, experts say that roughly 80 percent of what a child learns in school is information that is presented visually.
Visual Perception

Visual information processing skills are a set of skills used to obtain information from the environment and integrate that information with other senses (eg hearing, taste, smell and touch), and higher cognitive functions.
