WHY WE BELIEVE IN BEHAVIOURAL OPTOMETRY
The philosophy of behavioural optometry is that eyecare extends beyond a biological ability; it assesses the development of a patient’s visual skills. This means reviewing the patient’s efficiency of vision, where all the action occurs. In this sense, behavioural optometry is an expansion on traditional optometric practice, asking how your eyes and brain work together.
Our Smart Vision practices, located in Bondi and Mosman, approach the treatment of optometry wholistically, treating not only vision, but visual-information processing. We believe that your visual status and the way you process visual data depends on more than just the clarity of your eyesight. It’s equally important to assess your functional and perceptual vision skills.
As Behavioural Optometrists, we involve our patients as active participants in the prevention of eye problems and the maintenance of maximum eye health and visual fitness. We not only consider the remediation of any eyesight difficulties; we consider the benefits of prevention, protection and enhancement of their visual system in order to improve all aspects of their visual performance.
Our goals are:
- To develop and enhance the visual skills needed to achieve more effective visual performance at work and play
- To provide remediation or compensation for vision or eye problems that may have already developed
- To prevent vision problems and eye problems from developing
