Paediatric Optometry

Don’t let vision-related learning difficulties dim your child’s bright future.

Is your child struggling with reading, focusing, or coordination? Does homework feel like a mountain and words dance on the page? You’re not alone. Many children, including those on the autism spectrum, face challenges related to vision that can affect their learning and confidence.

At DeonOptom, we understand the journey you and your child are on. We believe every child deserves to blossom, and vision shouldn’t be a barrier to their bright future. That’s why we don’t just check their eyes; we delve deeper, looking at how they see and interact with the world. This comprehensive approach allows us to identify underlying vision-related learning difficulties (VRLDs) that might be holding them back.
