We provide a range of eye examinations. Having your eyes tested regularly can also result in early detection of a serious health risk. Our aim is to make clear and comfortable vision a reality for all our patients based on each patient’s needs. "Vision gives meaning, Eye sight gives clarity." - Brenda M
Starting with an eye health assessment we can determine if you are able to wear Contact Lenses. Once you are cleared you are fitted and the particular types of lenses are discussed to determine the best option for your lifestyle. We assist with fitting of Scleral contact lenses for irregular corneas and Ortho-Keratology that is used frequently for Myopia Control.
Myopia (short-sighted) is more significant than just needing glasses for blurred vision at distance. Myopia regularly progresses in children and teenagers, affecting their quality of life and increasing eye health risks. Myopia control treatments can give kids better vision now, and healthier eyes in the long term.
Visual Therapy is an individualized, supervised, non-surgical treatment program to improve eye alignment, eye tracking and teaming, eye focusing, eye movements and visual processing skills. the aim of VT is to train the brain to use the eyes to receive information effectively, comprehend it quickly and react accordingly. Our practice use Amblyoplay digital visual therapy programs.
Eye care is part of a multidisciplinary healthcare approach. The evaluation of vision includes the investigation of functional vision. Looking a bit deeper and thinking from a developmental viewpoint is slightly different from normal routine eye examinations. The optometrist needs to play along and think of fun ways to get test results to diagnose and prescribe on a therapeutic level to address visual symptoms and not always to correct visual optometric data.
Leané is qualified to assist with the diagnosis of ocular health conditions through examination of your eye health and to assist with the relevant referrals to ophthalmology and other medical practitioners as needed. A multidisciplinary approach between health care professionals is to the benefit of you the patient.
