Developmental Optometry

Developmental Optometry is a specialized field of eye care that focuses on how vision affects learning and development in children and adults. It goes beyond basic vision correction to address visual skills such as eye coordination, tracking, and depth perception. Developmental optometrists assess and treat visual problems that can impact academic performance, sports, and daily activities. They use tailored therapies and exercises to help individuals improve their visual processing, ultimately enhancing their ability to learn and interact with the world effectively. This approach supports overall cognitive development and can be particularly beneficial for those with learning disabilities.
