Gerry & Johnson Optometrists offer in-school Vision Screening visits. Our screenings provide teachers and parents with a summary of a child’s visual skills for learning, and if further action is required we can advise you of the best path to take. These screenings can be arranged by contacting our optometrists, either Kate Johnson or Vijay Mistry.

We visit your school and screen 12-15 children per hour for:

• Blurred vision
• Colour vision deficiency
• Convergence insufficiency and other eye coordination problems

Results are given to a coordinating teacher who can then generate a report for the parents of each child. The process can also include:

• A presentation to teachers
• A talk to parents to describe vision-based learning difficulties (VBLD) and provide them with the vision training (eye exercises) for convergence insufficiency.
• A follow up / review visit for children doing vision training.

If you are interested in organising a vision screening, or would just like some more information, please don't hesitate to contact our optometrists - Kate Johnson and Vijay Mistry, or call us on (07) 3210 1822.
