Virginia Henry Optometrists

Virginia Henry Optometrists offer optometry services to the Townsville region. Virginia has lived and practiced in Townsville for more than 30 years and together with her staff, can offer you the benefits of over 70 years' combined experience. We are an independent practice located close to the city, with convenient parking and within walking distance to the ferry terminal. 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.
