Could a School Vision Assessment be the solution for my child?
Is your child struggling at School?
Maybe finding reading difficult?
Do they fidget, have poor concentration, and perhaps a little clumsy?
Is homework a battle?
Are they making silly mistakes in their schoolwork or exams?
Do you feel your child isn’t getting the results at school that you feel they are capable of, despite putting in maximum effort...
Your child may be dyslexic or maybe suffering with poor binocular vision and eye mechanics. 95% of dyslexic children suffer with eye issues and many children with poor eye mechanics are wrongly diagnosed as dyslexic.
At Park Vision we are not here to diagnose dyslexia, but we are here to support and work with all children suffering with visual issues.
A school vision assessment is a 90-minute appointment that involves a full eye examination and further, more detailed eye tests to determine how the eyes work binocularly. Eye dominance, hand eye coordination, tracking, ocular muscle imbalances, and colour tints for visual stress and neural processing are all investigated and corrected.
If school vision glasses are the solution for your child, the results should show an immediate improvement in confidence, speed, and accuracy.
A unique prescription will be dispensed to your child, which may involve specialist lenses, prism, and coloured tints. A comprehensive report, explaining the methods of the school vision assessment and your child’s results will be given to you upon collection of their new glasses. The report should help your child’s school to understand why they are wearing the glasses and why your child may be having difficulties with schoolwork. We will continue to monitor your child’s progress within the classroom, through continuous after care, as they grow and develop through their academic life.
At Park Vision we have worked with thousands of school vision children and seen huge improvements in paving a more successful and enjoyable school life, hearing their exam achievements, gaining in confidence, and watching them fulfil their academic potential.
Since 2008 it’s been Park Vision’s mission to deliver clinical excellence - giving each and every individual the best chance of great vision through our specialist services.
Our Founder and Optometrist Michelle is insistent that the whole Park Vision Team are continuously enhancing their knowledge and keeping up to date with the latest treatments and technology - which is why our Optometrists, Vikesh and Chloe, recently completed further training, undertaking their School Vision Diplomas.
A massive congratulations to Vikesh and Chloe on passing, with distinction, their School Vision Diplomas!
Being one of the few practices in the country to offer School Vision Assessments, Park Vision can now very proudly announce that all of our Optometrists are School Vision qualified!
