Bringing eye check ups to school

We know that 1 in 5 children may have a visual issue therefore we understand the importance of early detection. Visual issues such as blurred vision, headaches and eyestrain that may have a domino affect on concentration and learning. In our experience, some children are also unaware of their visual problem until it is revealed at their eye exam or with thorough history taking with our optometrists. 

Our experienced optometry team, behavioural optometrists Linda Nguyen and Joanne Tran, provide comprehensive eye tests for students directly at school. 

• Eye tests are done in a familiar, comfortable environment

• Convenient and accessible solution for families
   
• We reduce the need for external appointments, to support early detection and timely management of vision-related learning difficulties, particularly for those who are already receiving learning support
   
• A selection of spectacles is available to browse if needed. Students may be able to access the free/low cost NSW Spectacle Program*, or claim no-gap spectacles through their health insurance.
   
• Comprehensive children's vision testing includes checks for vision and eye health, binocular vision testing such as eye tracking, eye teaming and eye focussing issues

• A report is given to parents following the eye test
   
• If further testing is recommended, we provide referrals to optometrists/ophthalmologists

• If vision therapy is recommended, we will advise of the options available to you
