Many children who struggle with reading, copying from the board or eye fatigue may not have an eyesight problem. Sometimes the challenge is how their eyes work together.

This skill is called binocular vision and it is the ability for both eyes to coordinate and process what we see.

When binocular vision isn't working efficiently, you may experience:
-Blurred or double vision
-Headaches whilst reading
-Difficulty tracking words across a page
-Trouble judging distance
-Eye fatigue during close work

In some children, retained primitive reflexes can interfere with the development of their visual skills that are needed for reading and learning.

Reflexes that may impact upon binocular vision include:
-Moro Reflex
-ATNR Reflex
-STNR Reflex
-TLR Reflex

These reflexes can affect eye tracking, visual focus and spatial awareness making tasks such as reading, writing and sports more challenging.

If your child is struggling with learning and even if you have been told that they have 6/6 eyesight, please consider checking their visual processing and binocular vision. The school holidays is the perfect time to come for a full assessment.

Book online at www.totaloptical.com.au or phone 40311360.

What's the difference between an eye test and a behavioural eye test? We look at all aspects of vision, not just how clearly you can see, to determine if you have good vision.

Individuals with 20/20 eyesight can still experience poor visual skills which impacts upon learning and everyday living.

If you have any concerns about your own vision or that of a family member, please phone 40311360 or book an appointment online at www.totaloptical.com.au for a behavioural vision test.

Did you know that your child may have a visual processing problem even if they have 6/6 eyesight?

Checking visual processing skills is different to having an eye sight test. Many parents mistakenly think that if their child can see clearly, everything must be alright.

If your child is not performing to their full potential or you recognise some of the signs listed below, please arrange an appointment with our Paediatric Optometrist, Dr Jane Chin by booking directly online at www.totaloptical.com.au or phoning 40311360.

Turning up the heat this winter? Keep your eyes protected!

Indoor heating may keep you warm during the chilly winter months, but it can also dry out the air, and your eyes.

Here are a few simple ways to keep your eyes comfy whilst staying warm indoors:

Avoid sitting too close to heaters or vents
Use lubricating eye drops if needed
Add an extra layer of warm clothes or use a blanket to stay warm
Consider using a humidifier to balance the air
Stay hydrated throughout the day

A warm home shouldn’t come at the cost of dry, uncomfortable eyes. Book now for a dry eye treatment https://www.myhealth1st.com.au/find/optometrists/qld/cairns/manunda/total-optical Ph: 40311360
