While many optometry services focus on the quality of your eyesight, behavioural optometry assesses your visual system as a whole.
Our behavioural optometrist will examine your visual performance in relation to activities such as reading, learning, playing sports, and working at a computer. Behavioural optometry can also consider your vision in the context of conditions such as short-sightedness or Parkinson’s Disease.
In a behavioural optometry consultation, our team may be able to assist you with:
- Preventing the development of vision problems
- Identifying and treating issues to avoid further deterioration
- Ensuring your visual system is functioning at its best for work, school, and everyday life
