Behavioural Optometry

Behavioral optometry is a specialized branch of eye care that focuses on the relationship between vision and behavior. It evaluates how visual skills affect learning, coordination, and overall functioning. Practitioners assess not just eyesight but how the brain processes visual information, including tracking, focusing, and depth perception. Treatment may involve vision therapy, lenses, or exercises to enhance visual performance, particularly for individuals with learning difficulties, attention issues, or visual-motor challenges. The goal is to improve visual efficiency, which can lead to better academic performance and daily activities.
