Eyeglasses being ever so trendy and contact lenses ever so popular. We are all happier when things are clear, aren’t we? A clear vision means full steam ahead, it means that we can proceed without doubt and fear. That’s what I believe in cautionless progress, every step of the way. Life isn’t always like that thought, it’s full of ups and downs, obstacles preventing us from reaching our goals, and it’s just the way it is.
In order to be able to see, hence being able to evaluate what plan of action we are required to take with life troubles our sight needs to be up to the standard of doing so. Easier said than done you may think if you are unfortunate enough to have an issue with your sight, which is called an optometry issue, or if the matter is close to you. If you fall into the category of being affected by a vision impairment or indeed having a loved one with an eyesight issue read on this will be informative.
Optometry v Behavioral Optometry
As the subheading suggests there are two aspects of this. Optometry and Behavioral Optometry.
So let’s break it down, what is optometry?
Optometry is the specialized study of the eye looking for defects or abnormalities carried out by trained health care professionals called optometrists, also known as opticians.
These specialized medical professionals carry out duties like screening and checking for eye disorders, vision system diagnostics, and solving and preventing disorders with the eye and its muscles, all while providing crucial knowledge for proper eye care. Great and valuable dedicators to the sighted world, they really are!
Behavioral Optometry differs from traditional optometry by taking into an account the cognitive and motor skills necessary for effective and clear visual perception. Essentially a deeper dive into sight from a different angle. Behavioural optometry at Microprism Vision is leading the field also might I add.
Why Choose Behaviour Optometry?
By opting for behavioural optometry all ages can benefit, especially those with visual challenges affecting learning like children with reading difficulties, people who are cross-eyed, or an individual affected by lazy eye. All of those impairments can cause serious stress and strain but can be helped and relieved by going for an assessment.
An assessment normally entails a comprehensive evaluation of visual acuity, eye health, and visual processing skills. It may also include an assessment of how the eyes track, focus, and work together, along with how effectively information is processed visually and integrated with the other senses.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is well worth our while getting our sight checked and why wait until it’s too late to do it. Get ahead of the game by going to see a behavioural optometry specialist and catch anything that may be off before it catches you. We can continue to eat carrots and use eye drops also to improve our sight but getting to the root cause is always the best solution and doing so ahead of time saves your sight in this case.
