SchoolVision Assessment
Is your child's vision holding them back at school? Our SchoolVision assessment goes beyond a standard eye test to examine how your child's visual system performs in a learning environment.
A standard eye test tells you whether your child can see clearly at distance. But clear vision is only one part of the visual skills needed for learning. SchoolVision is a specialist assessment that examines all the visual abilities required for effective classroom performance.
What SchoolVision Assesses
The SchoolVision assessment evaluates tracking (following text across a page), convergence (the ability to focus both eyes at near), accommodation (shifting focus between distances), visual processing speed, and eye teaming. Problems in any of these areas can cause reading difficulties, poor concentration, headaches, and fatigue, even when distance vision is perfect.
Signs Your Child May Benefit
Consider a SchoolVision assessment if your child loses their place when reading, skips words or lines, has difficulty copying from the board, complains of headaches after schoolwork, avoids reading, has poor handwriting relative to ability, or becomes frustrated with close work.
Specialist SchoolVision Assessment
Eyewise Opticians offers SchoolVision assessments for children who may be struggling with the visual skills needed for learning. This specialist service supports children with a detailed assessment of vision skills linked to classroom performance.
What Happens Next
If the assessment identifies visual skill deficits, we'll recommend appropriate treatment. This may include glasses with a specific near-vision prescription, visual exercises, or referral for colorimetry assessment if visual stress is suspected.
