Vision Information Processing Tests

As well as checking your vision and health of your eyes, we also offer Vision Information Processing (VIP) Assessments which analyse the way that information is processed by the brain. This is particularly recommended for children who may exhibit:

  • Reading or writing difficulties at school
  • Reversals
  • Trouble following words on the page, including skipping words
  • Poor concentration
  • Struggle with processing visual information

Our optometrists who are part of the Australian College of Behavioural Optometry (ACBO), aims to identify a child’s pattern of strengths and weaknesses that may be affecting academic performance. The areas which are addressed include:

  • Eye movements
  • Visual motor integration
  • Visual spatial skills
  • Visual analysis skills

Your child’s results will be compared against the age-appropriate expected levels, and from this we can make recommendations which may include a program of vision therapy that will target any deficient areas found.
