Bryan Smith, Neuro-developmental and Behavioural optometrist, provides both traditional Optometrist consultations and Developmental and Behavioural Optometry consultations. He is available for consultations monthly at our Concord centre.
Bryan has Fellowships of both the Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrist (ACBO) and College of Optometrist in Vision Development (COVD). Bryan has a special interest in Children’s Vision, Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation and Sports Vision.
Bryan assesses the function of the “whole” visual system in an innovative way that allows better vision and sensory integration.
The “whole” Visual System- Central & Peripheral Vision:
Central vision is the middle part of the visual field. It provides information for “What is it?” and allows us to identify objects.
Peripheral vision is all that is visible outside the central area of focus, it provides information for “Where Am I/ Where is it?” and enables visually guided movement such as pointing along with posture, balance and movement.
How can this help you?
Prevent vision problems and eye problems from developing.
Provide vision improvement, remediation or rehabilitation for vision or eye problems that have already developed (e.g. eye turn, shortsightedness, visual problems due to brain trauma etc)
Vision and Sensory Integration helps people with the following conditions:
Although Bryan specialises in children with learning and behavioural problems he can help people of all ages with a variety of eye sight problems. One of Bryan’s aims is, where possible, to help his clients get rid of their glasses.
