Meet Landi Lotz, the Vision Therapist at Vision in Balance Optometry.

Vision is about so much more than what we see, it relies on the brain, eyes and body working together. When a child struggles with reading, tires easily during school work, fidgets frequently or experiences eye strain, there may be more contributing to the picture than vision alone. Postural control, sensory processing, motor coordination and retained primitive reflex patterns may all influence how comfortably and efficiently a child uses their visual system.

With a background in Occupational Therapy and further training in Sensory Integration, Rhythmic Movement Training (RMTi) and Vision Therapy, Landi brings a whole-body perspective to the therapy process. She considers how vision works together with movement, balance, posture and sensory processing, and incorporates these areas into therapy where appropriate.

The goal is to help children use their visual system more efficiently and comfortably, so that tasks such as reading, learning and classroom work require less effort.

It is a privilege to have Landi’s warm, comprehensive care supporting the children and families in our community.

Meet Amy Daly, the passionate optometrist and practice owner behind Vision in Balance Optometry in Oude Westhof.

Amy graduated from the University of Johannesburg in 2011 before completing post-graduate training in Paediatric Optometry with the Australian College of Optometry and Behavioural Optometry through the Optometric Extension Program Foundation. Her interest in behavioural optometry grew from recognising that not every visual concern has a straightforward answer. Wanting to better understand and support patients who needed more than a traditional approach led her to explore how vision functions as a whole. That includes the skills we use every day, such as tracking words on a page, focusing and helping both eyes work together. As a mom of two, Amy understands the challenges families face when a child finds reading tiring or struggles to get through homework. Whether she is assessing a young learner’s vision or helping an adult find comfortable, stylish frames, Amy wants every patient to feel heard and supported.

Come meet Amy at Vision in Balance Optometry in Oude Westhof.

If afternoon homework is a constant struggle, a lack of effort may not be the real problem. Reading and writing demand substantial physical exertion from a child's visual system. When a child's eyes can't focus as a team, track smoothly across a line of text, or stay aligned; just sitting down for homework feels exhausting.

Children rarely notice or complain about blurry sight because they think everyone sees the exact same way they do. Instead, they show their struggle by fidgeting, losing their place on a page, or avoiding books altogether. A behavioural eye exam checks how well the eyes, brain, and body team up to make learning feel easy and natural.

Help your little one read with absolute confidence. Schedule a complete vision check with Amy Daly right here in Oude Westhof. visioninbalance.co.za

Notice your child's posture while doing homework?

How they sit can be a major clue to how their visual system is functioning. Desk slouching, chair-leg wrapping, and head-resting are rarely just "bad habits" in children. Instead, retained primitive reflexes and visual tracking difficulties make the simple act of sitting still require immense physical effort. When a child's eyes struggle to coordinate smoothly across a line of text, their body moves constantly to compensate.

Combining primitive reflex integration with vision therapy builds natural postural stability, lifting the heavy physical burden of classroom work.

Can you find the secret message hidden in our eye chart today?

It looks like a regular eye chart on our wall at first. But if you look closer, you will find our special holiday wish for your family. Our country is built on active families, rich stories, and the great outdoors. Good eyesight is about way more than reading standard eye charts in a clinic. It means reading school books confidently, noticing tiny things in nature, playing outdoor sports with sharp focus, and exploring your world without tired eyes.

At Vision in Balance, we are proud to support our local neighbours and help children experience their world with clear, effortless sight. May your Heritage Day be filled with rest, happiness, and beautiful moments with family.

Between managing family routines and hitting work deadlines, your days are packed. Have you taken a moment lately to think about your own eye comfort?

From screen time to family routines, your eyes never stop working. But functional vision means you don't have to live with late-afternoon eye strain, neck stiffness, or dry, tired eyes. We hand-select independent eyewear brands like Etnia Barcelona, Modo, and ProDesign Denmark because they offer incredible structural comfort while elevating your personal style. Caring for your eyes is essential to your overall wellbeing.

Does your child struggle to catch or throw a ball?

The problem might not be a matter of athletic coordination. Playing sports requires swift visual processing. When throwing or catching a ball, a child's eyes must seamlessly follow, gauge proximity and pivot effortlessly. When visual tracking falls short, the activity becomes a frustrating task.

Booking your child in for a behavioural visual assessment identifies how effectively the eyes team together, a critical factor in building confidence on the sports field. 🏉⚽🎾
