We Provide Children’s Optometry Services in Rockhampton
Supporting the Visual Health of Your Kids
Since 1991, we at Russell Cooper Optometrist have been proudly supporting the visual health of children in Rockhampton and beyond. Using advanced technologies, we are able to conduct assessments to help us determine whether or not your child is suffering from visual stress or any other sight impairment.
We can prescribe precision tinted lenses which can be readily fitted to a wide array of frames. Depending on what we find during our assessment, we can also apply coloured filters over the lenses of your child’s spectacles—which can help remediate visual stress.
At Russell Cooper Optometrist, the wellbeing and visual health of your child is our top priority. We are more than happy to work closely with parents and guardians, empowering them with the information they need to help them protect and optimise their child’s sight.
If you would like to book your child in for an appointment at our Rockhampton optometry clinic, don’t hesitate to contact us today.
Indicators of Visual Stress
The presence of visual stress can manifest itself in a range of symptoms. These can include:
- The blurring or movement of printed text
- Patterns in print (often described as ‘worms’ or ‘rivers’)
- Colour halos surrounding words
- Headaches or pain in the eyes whilst attempting to read
- Growing excessively tired when reading
- Perceptual distortions
Although visual stress is not the same thing as dyslexia, often times both conditions run concurrently. As such, it is important to arrange a visual assessment so that an optometrist can advise upon the optimal treatment method.
If you would like Russell Cooper Optometrist to conduct an assessment of your child’s visual health, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today. We will strive to arrange the appointment time that best accommodates your needs.
Cerium Visual Technologies
The Cerium visual technologies we work with at our practice enable us to diagnose the potential presence of visual stress. Depending on our findings, our staff can prescribe colour filter lenses. These are able to help address migraines and reduce the chance of a photophobic attack.
If, after implementing cerium visual technologies, it is determined that a more long-term solution is required, our staff can prescribe precision tinted lenses. These lenses can help remediate high sensitivity, allowing wearers to read and function more effectively in lighted environments in which they might otherwise feel uncomfortable.
We at Russell Cooper Optometrist will spare no effort to ensure your child receives the optimal lenses for their unique visual needs. Our professionals are able to carry out comprehensive overlay testing. Additionally, the lenses that we prescribe can be fitted to a gorgeous selection of designer
brand frames.
