👀 Why is your child's vision so important?

Did you know that around 80% of a child's learning is visual?

From reading and writing to using computers and seeing the whiteboard, clear and comfortable vision plays a vital role in helping children learn with confidence. If a child isn't seeing clearly, everyday classroom tasks can become much more difficult, affecting their learning, concentration, and enjoyment at school.

A comprehensive eye examination can identify vision problems that may otherwise go unnoticed, giving your child the best opportunity to succeed both in the classroom and beyond.

📚 Give your child the best start—book a comprehensive eye examination with Shattky Optometrists today.

📚👀 Reading shouldn't be a struggle.

While vision problems don't cause dyslexia, visual difficulties can sometimes make reading more tiring and frustrating. A VisionLink assessment looks beyond eyesight to evaluate tracking, focusing, and how the eyes work together during reading tasks.

If your child loses their place, avoids reading, complains of headaches, or tires quickly with schoolwork, a behavioural vision assessment may help identify contributing visual factors.

🧠👀 Still struggling after a concussion or brain injury? Vision could be part of the reason.

Did you know that up to 90% of people who experience a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may develop visual difficulties? These problems aren't always picked up in a standard eye test and can affect reading, balance, concentration, memory, and everyday activities.

Common symptoms may include:
✨ Headaches or eye strain
✨ Blurred or double vision
✨ Light sensitivity
✨ Difficulty reading or tracking words on a page
✨ Dizziness or motion sensitivity
✨ Fatigue during visual tasks

At VisionLink, behavioural optometrists assess how your eyes and brain are working together following a concussion or brain injury. We can identify visual issues that may be impacting recovery and provide tailored solutions such as:

👓 Specialised lenses
🔺 Prisms
🌈 Tinted lenses for light sensitivity
👀 Vision Therapy

Addressing visual problems can help improve comfort, support rehabilitation, and make everyday tasks easier.

💙 If you or someone you know is experiencing ongoing symptoms after a concussion or TBI, talk to us about a VisionLink assessment.

✨ Could Irlen® Lenses Help Your Child Read More Comfortably? ✨

Does your child complain that words move on the page, get headaches while reading, lose their place easily, or become tired during schoolwork? These could be signs of Irlen Syndrome (Visual Stress).

🌈 Irlen Lenses are specially tinted lenses designed to reduce visual stress and make reading and other visual tasks more comfortable for some people.

Potential benefits may include:
✅ Improved reading comfort
✅ Reduced headaches and eye strain
✅ Better concentration and attention during visual tasks
✅ Less sensitivity to bright lights and glare
✅ Increased confidence with schoolwork

Every person experiences visual stress differently, which is why a comprehensive assessment is important to determine whether Irlen lenses may be beneficial.

👀 If your child is finding reading harder than it should be, we can help assess their visual needs and discuss the options available.
