children's vision clinic

Even children with excellent vision can have vision related learning difficulties. Kosmac & Clemens provide a specialized service for children that have specific learning disabilities. These tests are referred to as Visual Information Processing or VIP tests. They differ from a normal eye test and take a full hour to perform. Our Children's Vision Clinic is centrally located at our Bendigo practice and services all of Central Victoria.

A general eye test is required to be performed before the VIP appointment. If this has been done with another optometrist please ensure you bring with you a referral letter to avoid any extra costs.

The VIP tests examine:

  • Eye tracking
  • Left-right awareness and reversal recognition
  • Visual perception
  • Visual Motor Integration
  • Memory: sequential visual, sequential auditory and abstract visualization
  • Auditory analysis
  • Rapid automatic naming of numbers
  • Dyslexia

Childrens eye testFollowing the examination you will be asked to come back to discuss the results. This appointment takes between 30-60 minutes.

The optometrist will discuss all options available. You will be provided with all the information required for exercises to improve the child's visual information processing skills.

 

If the child has dyslexia or a language-based difficulty the optometrist will suggest referral to appropriate specialists such as speech pathologists, occupational therapists or educational psychologists.
