What is Behavioural Eye Care?

Behavioural optometry goes beyond standard eye exams to assess how vision affects daily activities, especially for children struggling with learning or behaviour issues. By understanding how the eyes work together and process information, Albany Optometrists can identify and treat vision problems that may be hindering your child’s academic and social success.

How Can Behavioural Eye Care Help?

Behavioural optometry can address a range of issues such as difficulty reading, poor hand-eye coordination, and attention problems. Through personalised treatment plans, including vision therapy and specific exercises, Albany Optometrists helps children improve their visual skills, leading to better performance in school and daily life.

What is Irlen Syndrome?

Irlen Syndrome is a perceptual processing disorder that affects the brain’s ability to process visual information. It can cause difficulties with reading, light sensitivity, and depth perception, often leading to headaches, eye strain, and fatigue.

How Can Albany Optometrists Help with Irlen Syndrome?

Albany Optometrists offers specialised testing for Irlen Syndrome to identify if your child is affected. If diagnosed, they provide custom-made Irlen filters, worn as glasses, that can help alleviate the symptoms by reducing visual stress. This can significantly improve your child’s reading ability, comfort, and overall quality of life.
