At optometry@cooroy we are proud that our principal optometrist, Jenny Currie, has many years’ experience in this specialised area of Behavioural Optometry and in 2024 she earnt the Acquired Brain Injury Accreditation in Neuro-Optometric Vision Care (ANOC).
Neuro-optometric therapy is a process for the rehabilitation of visual / perceptual / motor disorders. It includes, but is not limited to, acquired strabismus, diplopia, binocular vision dysfunction, convergence and/or accommodation disfunction, oculomotor or eye movement dysfunction, visual-spatial dysfunction, visual perceptual and cognitive deficits and traumatic visual acuity loss.
Patients of all ages who have experienced neurological insults may experience visual problems that would benefit from neuro-optometric assessment and treatment. The diagnosis and treatment plan are determined by standardised and recognised diagnostic criteria. Treatment encompasses medically necessary non-compensatory lenses, prisms, specialised tints and filters, with or without occlusion and other appropriate rehabilitation strategies and therapy designed to address the individual’s specific visual challenges to improve and enhance their quality of life.
