We offer mainstream optometry as well as contact lenses, behavioural optometry, colour vision assessments, sports vision and prescription safety eyewear. Virginia holds a fellowship in Behavioural Optometry which is at the forefront of vision enhancement. 'Behavioural Optometry is particularly useful for children with vision-related learning difficulties, sports vision and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. Current research indicates that some people with reading difficulties have had a co-existing visual language processing deficit for years, and for this reason, a vision examination that assesses those factors influencing learning is vital.' State of the art instruments are used to help diagnose and treat vision problems, including retinal imaging. It is important to have regular eye examinations for early detection of eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration.
