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:
- Eye focusing and ability to sustain clear vision at near
- Two eye teaming and coordination important for reading fluency
- Prescription tailored to help with learning in class
- Eye health assessment
- Screening for issues that may impact sport or daily activities
Many children can have 20/20 eyesight but still struggle with hidden visual problems 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 addressed to yourself and their class teacher (if requested).
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
- Coordination or sporting difficulties
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.
