Behavioural Optometry
What is Behavioural Optometry?
A Behavioural Optometrist is an Optometrist with extra training in binocular vision, Strabismus, Amblyopia and Visual/Spatial Perception. They are sometimes referred to as Neuro-Developmental Optometrists.
Understanding Light, and the human-ness of that thing called Sight is a real challenge but Behavioural Optometrists have been doing this since 1930's and there is a lot of published research about it. The speciality knowledge and patient training therapies will open up a new understanding about your Vision.
Behavioural Optometry is the application of the Behavioural Optometrists knowledge.
Committing to action is the key to getting the best outcome, and good rewards are achieved.
Shattky's Behavioural Optometry services are provided through our VisionLink entity. We can provide you and your family with better Visual Efficiency.
Behavioural Optometrists approach Vision from a different perspective to that of other optometrists and eye surgeons. You will learn a lot when you come to us.
We can help with "blurring words" despite "normal focus", slow handwriting, loss of concentration, missing out words or letters when reading, reversing letters and numbers.
Optometric Vision Therapy uses exercises and experiences to develop more efficient visual processing. This results in improved reading and spelling, improved movement and rehabilitation of lost function.
