SchoolVision® Assessment

At Anstice Optometrists, our SchoolVision® Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation designed specifically for school-aged children.

Unlike a standard eyesight check, we assess how your child's entire visual system is functioning for learning, reading, concentration, coordination, and classroom performance.

This includes:

• Assessing how cleary your child can see and their ability to sustain this at near for extended periods of time
  
  
• Two eye teaming and coordination important for reading fluency
  
  
• Ability to change focus from desk to board in class
  
  
• Eye health assessment
  
  
• Prescription tailored for classroom learning

 
Many children can have clear eyesight when looking far, but still struggle with hidden visual problems at near that affect reading fluency, attention, comprehension, confidence, or fatigue at school. 

Our assessments are tailored to each child and are carried out by experienced Optometrists with special interests in children's vision and visual development. 

Following the assessment, we provide clear explanations and personalised recommendations for parents. Along with a written report that can be used for further learning assessment needs emailed to you. 

SchoolVision® Assessments may be helpful for children experiencing: 

• Reading difficulties
• Poor concentration
• Headaches or sore eyes
• Losing place while reading
• Reduced confidence at school
• Avoidance of close work

We believe vision plays a critical role in a child's development, learning, and wellbeing — which is why we recommend comprehensive visual assessments for all school-aged children, not just a simple prescription check.
