Children’s Vision

Dr David O’Sullivan Optometrist is our resident Behavioural Optometrist and a member of the Australian College of Behavioural Optometrists (ACBO). He will ensure your child’s vision is tested within a safe, friendly environment. Parents are encouraged to sit in the examination room so they can discuss results as the examination proceeds.

Our children’s vision services include:

• The assessment of functional and visual perceptual skills
• Referrals to other professionals who can assess learning delayed children (learning difficulties may be attributed to impaired vision)
• Visual hygiene advice. Factors such as posture, close reading distance, sustained near work and limited or restricted time spent outdoors can lead to myopia and other visual problems over time. Our Optometrists will assess these potential problems during the eye examination, and recommend strategies to overcome them.
