Sophie Dwyer take a bow.

A brilliant goal during the Constellation Cup Match 3.

Consider Sophie's visual skills to make that shot...

⚽ Depth perception:
Accurately judging the distance between herself and the goal post.
Especially taking a step back in the final second.

⚽ Visualisation:
She can see in her mind how the ball moves and goes through the ring.

⚽ Eye-hand coordination:
Visual information coordinates her hands and fingers. She uses just enough force to make the shot without overcooking it.

⚽ Peripheral vision:
She's aware of Kelly Jackson's reach over the ball, but keeps her focus on the post.

Sophie showed that to compete as a top level athlete, your visual skills aren't optional.

Especially if you want to perform under pressure.

Best of luck to the Australian Diamonds for Match 4 tonight.

Spent the weekend in Brisbane.

And although it was business, not pleasure, we still had a great time.

Jodie and I attended the Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrists’ Accreditation in Advanced Vision Care.

It reminded me why I love what I do.

Presented by Dr Carmin Hall and Dr Fernando Lamas, we learned about:

✅ Primitive reflexes and how to detect them
✅ The effect they have on overall performance
✅ Methods to help integrate retained reflexes

Both hosts did a tremendous job explaining complex processes in easy-to-understand concepts.

Definitely left the conference on a high.

Can’t wait to implement what we’ve learned at EyeSense Vision to better serve every patient who visits our practice.

Parents, have you noticed this in your child?

They’re at their desk doing homework. But they slouch. Their nose almost touching the book.

It drives you insane.

Because you've told them 100 times to sit up straight.

And moments later they’re hunched over their book again.

Yeah, it’s frustrating.

But before you get mad at them…

They’re probably not doing it on purpose. There’s a possible explanation for this behaviour.

One possible reason:

Their eyes aren’t working together as a team.

So, they could get double vision, eye strain, or fatigue pretty quickly.

And slouching makes it easier for them to read and write.

And yes, this could happen even if your child sees clearly.

Because it has less to do with how clearly they see, and more to do with how their eyes and brain work together.

Good news is this type of problem can often be managed.

Concerned about your child’s reading and classroom performance?

We’ve put together a guide with steps you could take to help your child overcome their learning and reading frustrations.

Comment GUIDE and we’ll send it over.

It's almost kickoff time... 🏉

Will the Sydney Roosters claim their 5th NRL Premiership title?

Or are the Newcastle Knights going to win for the 1st time since 2001?

Whatever the outcome...

It's going to be a great match.

Screen time before bed isn't a good idea...

Bet you've heard that before.

But why?

There are 2 main reasons:

🔹 It suppresses melatonin.

Melatonin is a hormone that tells your brain it's time to sleep.

Screens messes around with melatonin production. So, your child struggles to fall asleep.

(And you, too!)

🔹 Stimulation

Games, reels, videos...

They tell your child's brain to keep going when it's time to wind down. Constant stimulation makes it hard for the brain to go to sleep.

As a mum, I know the temptation to keep your kids entertained with screens.

Especially after a busy day.

And even more so when the tantrums are driving you up the wall.

But a good night's sleep is something I wouldn't compromise on.

It's crucial for your child's brain development.

Remember that children need more sleep than adults.

Depending on their age, any child below 18 need between 8 to 13 hours of quality sleep.

So, here's what I recommend:

No screens 2 hours before bed.

It's a hard habit to learn, but worth the effort.

(And if possible, you could set the example.)

Use those two hours to wind down and create a new routine...

Try it and see if you notice a change in your child.

Developing your child's visual skills shouldn't feel like a chore.

It should feel like play.

Here's a game you can try at the beach this summer:

🔹 Sit behind your child.
🔹 Draw a simple shape or picture on their back with your finger.
🔹 Once you're done, it's their turn to draw the same shape or picture in the sand.

Simple, right?

This game helps develop a skill called visual integration.

It's just a fancy way of saying your child uses different senses together to complete a task.

But why does it matter?

Because visual integration helps different parts of the brain to work as a team.

It helps coordinate how your child sees, hears, feels, and moves.

Here's what it looks like in everyday life:
👍 Copying notes from the board while listening to the teacher.
👍 Reading while sitting upright and keeping balance.
👍 Listening to instructions and following them.
👍 Running to catch a ball flying through the air.
👍 Following the steps to build a LEGO model.

Remember, your child wasn't born with these skills.

They develop them through play, movement, exploration and everyday experiences.

So, give this game a try next time you're at the beach.

Like and follow us for more activities like these to help your child develop necessary visual skills to read, learn, and thrive.

Imagine not being able to read.

Or got to work.

Or play the sport you love.

Imagine losing the opportunities to progress in your career.

Or the confidence to build new relationships.

Or even the motivation to socialise.

The impact of vision problems goes far beyond not seeing clearly.

We’ve witnessed the challenges.

We’ve heard the emotional stories.

We’ve seen the hopelessness on patients’ faces.

But we’ve also had the privilege of helping people regain control of their lives.

To see their confidence return.

To see their personalities pop.

To see them become optimistic about their future.

Not everyone can help the same way we do.

But everyone can ask one simple question:

Are you OK?

Dads... We see you. We love you. We appreciate you. 🫶

Dads, September is all about you...

02/09/2026

When you had a really tough day...

And then you remember you have an amazing team who isn't only good at what they do...

But they're supportive enough to realise you need a little pick-me-up.

My heavy heart has been lifted.

And I'm filled with gratitude. 😊

I wish all business owners were as lucky as I am.
