What is Behavioural Optometry?

Understanding the Connection Between Vision and Learning

Behavioural optometry is a specialised field of vision care focusing on how the brain and eyes work together. It goes beyond traditional eye exams, primarily assessing vision acuity (how well you see). Behavioural optometrists evaluate the visual skills that are essential for learning, reading, and everyday tasks.

Your eyes are constantly sending information to your brain, which interprets and processes it to help you understand the world around you. These visual skills are critical for reading, writing, and learning. When there are challenges with visual processing, focusing, or eye-hand coordination, it can impact a child’s ability to learn and succeed.

If you suspect your child or yourself is struggling with vision issues, behavioural optometry can provide a specialised assessment and personalised vision therapy to help address these challenges and improve visual skills.
