Congratulations Remy on completing 10 weeks of vision therapy! When Remy first came to see us he was struggling with reading and not being able to find where he was up to on the page as well as being overwhelmed heading into books with more lines of writing. By the end of 10 weeks his confidence has improved so much and he is no longer getting lost when reading and now actually enjoys reading. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Remy!!

What a lovely review! Working with this child was a delight! The change in her over the weeks was amazing to watch and now she is set to succeed at school. ​​​​​​​​
See us for an eye test so we can assess if this is something that could help your child. ​​​​​​​​

Imagine if reading looked like this…how annoying would it be?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For some children especially those experiencing convergence insufficiency it can look like this but the good news is it can be be helped!

Having been a teacher I’m always thinking of new ways to help work on things in a fun and engaging way! This is a little bingo chart I’ve been working on with a couple of different ways to play. When our website is completed I’ll be uploading some free resources for parents and teachers to download and use! Tag a friend or a teacher who would love to know about our resources.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Positive attitudes make all the difference….what’s something great about wearing masks? For me I love garlic bread so I can eat it on my lunch break and not worry about my breath! 🤣🤣 comment yours 👇

Draw me a story. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A great way to work on your child’s visualisation skills is to ask them to draw the story that you tell them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While your child listens tell a short story of 4-5 sentences, more if they are older. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure to include specific things they will need to remember. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For example...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The boy had a dog. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He had a black face and a brown body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He has no tail at all.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure they are ‘seeing it in their mind’ rather than using other cues of say repeating it over and over in their mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Visualisation is a key skill to learning and activities like this will strengthen these skills.

Let’s talk myopia and how to manage it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Firstly, myopia is serious stuff!! It’s what many people call being short sighted and basically is means you can’t see clearly in the distance and have to wear glasses to correct this.
You can’t reverse it and undo the progression once it has happened. However there are things we can do to slow the progression.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we see your child for their eye check we determine if myopia is something we need to manage and then formulate a treatment plan. If your child has early stages of myopia and they also have other indicators that progression may be likely such as a family history we like to see them more regularly so that we can monitor any increases in their prescription.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Treatment options include things such as atropine eye drops, ortho k (hard contact lenses worn overnight), miyosmart lenses, and also vision therapy.
