Vision Assessments

Tests for basic eyesight, Learning related Visual Skills, Visual Perceptual skills and Acquired Brain Injury vision symptoms

Eyesight screening

Complimentary Eyesight screening (Fr 3yo)

Check if you or your child passes the distance eyesight screening. Further testing may be indicated if you fail the eyesight screening.

Pediatric Vision Screening

Pediatric Vision Screening (Fr 2yo)

Photorefraction to check young children to asses for risks of Myopia, Astigmatism, Hyperopia, Lazy Eyes. Recommended for parents who have myopia or children who are always on gadgets. Suitable for children who does not know letters or have weak verbal abilities.

Myopia Control Program

Myopia Control Program

Our myopia control program is a specialized intervention designed to slow down the progression of myopia, also known as nearsightedness, in children. Myopia occurs when the eyeball becomes too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina, resulting in blurred distance vision. High levels of myopia can increase the risk of structural issues such as retinal disorders, glaucoma, and cataracts.

High levels of myopia can increase the risk of structural issues such as retinal disorders, glaucoma, and cataracts. Myopia control programs involve various techniques that have been shown to slow down the progression of myopia, such as peripheral defocus lenses and myopia control soft contact lenses. These techniques work by altering the way light enters the eye and the rate of eye growth, respectively.

Periodic check-ups are essential in myopia control programs to monitor progress and make adjustments as necessary. These check-ups may involve comprehensive eye exams, measuring the degree of myopia, assessing eye health, and evaluating the effectiveness of the chosen intervention.

Vision Assessment for individuals with needs

Vision Assessment for individuals with needs (30-60min)

A comprehensive eye examination is essential for the care and development of children with special needs. However, traditional examination methods can be challenging or impossible for children who are unable to sit still, communicate verbally, or control their neck muscles.

Vision Assessment for individuals with needs

A comprehensive eye examination is essential for the care and development of children with special needs.

However, traditional examination methods can be challenging or impossible for children who are unable to sit still, communicate verbally, or control their neck muscles. The developmental optometrist may need to devote additional time to evaluate the child's visual function and address any concerns. We specialize in helping children with various conditions, including autism spectrum disorder, albinism, developmental delays, genetic disorders, Down's syndrome, and cortical visual impairment.​

Learning Related Vision Screening (40min)

Short screening to check for red flags in the Learning Related Visual Skills. Recommended for children who are struggling to learn or has been diagnosed with Dyslexia, ADHD, DCD, ASD.

Strabismus (Squint)

Short screening to check for red flags in the Learning Related Visual Skills
Recommended for children who are struggling to learn or has been diagnosed with Dyslexia, ADHD, DCD, ASD.

1. Eyesight - is there a problem with seeing clearly?
2. Eye Tracking - is the eye movement fluent and accurate?
Weak eye movement skills cause skipping words/lines errors and difficulty copying from board.
3. Eye Teaming - can both eyes work efficiently together?
Weak eye teaming can cause eyestrain, headaches and poor near attention.
4. Eye Focusing - can our crystalline lens sustain near focusing power for prolong periods?
Weak eye focusing causes discomfort when reading the near text as the lens struggle to
"make clear" the text. You can be 8 year old but have a 40 year old eye focusing ability.

A short report is provided. Depending on severity, further assessments may be indicated.

Visual Efficiency/Functional Vision Assessment

Visual Efficiency/Functional Vision Assessment (60-80min)

Visual efficiency in learning refers to the ability to effectively process and understand information presented in a visual format. It encompasses visual-motor skills such as eye tracking, eye teaming, and eye focusing, which enable individuals to quickly and accurately interpret visual stimuli such as text in a passage, to facilitate effective learning and knowledge retention.

Visual Efficiency/Functional Vision Assessment

Visual efficiency in learning refers to the ability to effectively process and understand information presented in a visual format. It encompasses visual-motor skills such as eye tracking, eye teaming, and eye focusing, which enable individuals to quickly and accurately interpret visual stimuli such as text in a passage, to facilitate effective learning and knowledge retention. A student with strong visual efficiency can easily read and comprehend text, extract pertinent information from charts and passages, and learn more efficiently.

Conversely, a student with weak visual tracking, teaming, or focusing skills may encounter difficulties in learning and reaching their full academic potential. Common indicators of these visual inefficiencies include skipping words or lines when reading, finger-pointing while reading, struggles with copying from a board, and difficulty sustaining reading for extended periods.

Poor eye teaming may be indicated by frequent eye rubbing or blinking, poorer near attention while reading, and blurred or doubled vision. Weak eye focusing may cause near-blurred vision, headaches or eyestrain when reading, poorer attention during sustained near tasks, and a decline in performance when reading smaller text.

Visual discomfort caused by lighting can also exacerbate these visual inefficiencies, and thus, a comprehensive evaluation by a developmental optometrist is often required to determine whether an individual is experiencing visual stress or pattern glare conditions. Such assessments may involve customized prescription glasses, specialized tints, and other interventions designed to improve visual performance.

Visual Perceptual Skills Assessment

Visual Perceptual Skills Assessment (80min)

Visual perceptual skills are a set of complex abilities that enable individuals to make sense of “what they see”. The Visual Perceptual skills assessment is performed in addition to the Visual Efficiency (“how the eyes move”) as part of a comprehensive exam to determine the performance of an individual’s visual system.

Visual Perceptual Skills Assessment

Visual perceptual skills are a set of complex abilities that enable individuals to make sense of “what they see”.

The Visual Perceptual skills assessment is performed in addition to the Visual Efficiency (“how the eyes move”) as part of a comprehensive exam to determine the performance of an individual’s visual system. These perceptual skills may include visual memory, test of reversals, spatial perception, visual discrimination, figure-ground perception, visual closure, and more.

Assessing these visual perceptual skills is essential to identify any visual processing difficulties that may affect an individual's ability to learn, read, or perform daily activities.

Brain Injury Vision Assessment (60-80min)

Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion, communication between the eyes and the brain can be interrupted, resulting in visual dysfunctions in up to 90% of patients.

Brain Injury Vision Assessment

Following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion, communication between the eyes and the brain can be interrupted, resulting in visual dysfunctions in up to 90% of patients.

These visual dysfunctions may include:
- blurred vision
- light sensitivity
- reduction or loss of visual fields
- headaches/eyestrain during visual tasks
- eye movement difficulties
- abnormal perception of space

People of all ages who have experienced neurological injury and are experiencing visual symptoms may benefit from a vision assessment from a Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Optometrist. These eye care professionals specialize in the diagnosis and treatment/rehabilitation of neurological conditions that affect the visual system. Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation is a rehabilitation process that aims to improve visual, perceptual, and motor disorders.

When a person has an acquired brain injury (ABI), a comprehensive rehabilitation approach may be necessary to address all of their needs. An interdisciplinary, integrated team approach involving various healthcare professionals, such as optometrists, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, neurologists, neuropsychologists, audiologists, and ophthalmologists, may play a critical role in the rehabilitation of patients with concussions, stroke, or other neurological deficits.

Optometric Vision Therapy

Not to be confused with other forms of eye exercises, the goal of optometric vision therapy is not to strengthen eye muscles. Instead, vision therapy aims to retrain the learned aspects of vision through neuroplasticity. 

Optometric vision therapy should not be confused with any self-directed program of eye exercises which is or has been marketed to the public. In-office vision therapy under the supervision of an optometrist is supported by ongoing evidence-based scientific research (https://covd.site-ym.com/?page=research). 

Because visual skills such as tracking lines of text, coordinating the eyes, and focusing on close objects must be learned during development, these skills can also be improved later in life at any age.

It is estimated that 1 in 10 children have a vision problem severe enough to affect their learning in school but general standard school vision screenings can miss up to half of these problems. A comprehensive vision exam with a developmental optometrist checks all aspects of eye health, vision, and visual skills, and can ensure you or your child is not struggling unnecessarily with an undiagnosed vision problem. 

​At Vision and Perception Practice, we provide the latest equipment and skills to assess a child’s eye tracking matched with norms, visual perceptual skills, visual information processing skills, and more to fully understand their learning abilities.
