Have you or your child ever had an eye test that you felt didn’t quite solve the problem?

What is Behavioural Optometry?

This may be because some of the key elements required for good vision may have been overlooked.
Behavioural Optometry looks deeper at the visual system, assessing how easily your eyes and brain work together at distance and near when doing everyday tasks like driving, reading and using your phone. How well they are able to maintain focus and alignment, and how you process the information that you see.

Head over to our behavioural optometry page for info on all the different types of eye conditions that can benefit from a behavioural optometric eye assessment.

At our Myopia Control Clinic we use the latest research and technology to help reduce the progression of Myopia/Short Sightedness.

This can slow the change in your prescription and allow you to take back control of your vision.

If you’ve recently experienced a concussion, it’s important to understand the potential impact on your vision. Concussions can cause a range of visual symptoms, from blurry vision to sensitivity to light. Many common symptoms include: 

1. Headaches
2. Dizziness or balance problems
3. Fatigue or feeling tired
4. Sensitivity to light or noise
5. Blurred vision or double vision

While some of these symptoms may resolve on their own within a few weeks or months, others may persist longer and require professional intervention.

At our optometry clinic, we have a team of optometrists who have a keen interest in post-concussion vision problems. Adrian and Sashini, two of our optometrists, have undergone extensive training in this area and regularly collaborate with other allied health practitioners to provide the highest level of care for our patients.

If you’re experiencing vision problems after a concussion, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with our clinic. We can assess your vision and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you recover. Whether you need vision therapy, specialized lenses, or other interventions, we’re here to help you get back to optimal visual function. Remember, early intervention is key to achieving the best possible outcome.

We know that your eyes and vision are essential to your daily living. However, YOUR vision needs are different to that of your kids, parents or friends.

That is why we have designed the Enhanced Eye Assessment, to ensure you get the vision care that is required to suit your lifestyle. This includes the use of the newest technology, to allow us to check on the current status of your vision and eye health.

However, this technology also enables us to accurately monitor for any changes in the future. This allows us to minimise, detect, and treat any health conditions which may occur, before they cause you problems.

At The Eye Collective, almost 50% of our patients are children. Meaning we are very comfortable with eye tests on kids of any age.

And with over 70 years combined experience, and extra training in Behavioural Optometry, our optometrists have lots of tricks to help engage your child during their eye exam. Most of the time your child doesn’t even realise the eye test has actually started, as our team know exactly how to make the testing age appropriate and fun! This helps to ensure that we can help your child get the best out of their vision.

 Meares-Irlen syndrome (MIS) is characterised by symptoms of visual stress and visual perceptual distortions when looking at patterns, particularly stripes or lines of text. For those who have symptoms of MIS, pages of print can resemble a visually stressful pattern making it uncomfortable to look at.  Thankfully specifically designed coloured lenses may be able to help.

Symptoms of MIS are not always immediately obvious. Many individuals who suffer from MIS assume that their symptoms are quite “normal”.

MIS is found to exist in many neurological conditions including photosensitive migraine, photosensitive epilepsy, MS, Parkinsons, dyslexia, and autism.

Visual stress caused by MIS is NOT the same as dyslexia but is more common in those who are dyslexic.

Symptoms of MIS include:

Movement and blurring of print
Letters changing size, shape, or fading
Patterns in the print (sometimes described as rivers or worms)
Illusions of colour surrounding letters or words

Signs of MIS include:

Discomfort while reading
Using finger to track words while reading
Re-reading the same line
Rubbing eyes or blinking frequently while reading
Poor comprehension of reading content

If you believe you have pattern glare sensitivity, we can conduct a detailed assessment with a specialised instrument called the Intuitive Colorimeter. If the test shows you are positive for Mears-Irlen syndrome then, the exact colour tint (hue, saturation and brightness) can be incorporated in a pair of glasses that also includes the required spectacle lens power. This will help you feel much more comfortable in your day to day life.
