At Kids Eye Care By Five Dock Optometry, we believe that clear and comfortable vision is essential for a child’s success in learning, play, and everyday life. Vision problems in children often go unnoticed, yet they can have a significant impact on reading ability, attention span, coordination, and overall development. That’s why we take a holistic approach to children’s eye care, ensuring that every child gets the support they need to see, learn, and thrive.
 

Unlike standard eye exams that only check for 20/20 vision, we assess how the eyes and brain work together to process visual information. Many learning and behavioural challenges, including reading difficulties, poor handwriting, lack of focus, and trouble with coordination, can stem from undetected vision problems. Our goal is to provide early detection, effective treatment, and long-term support to help children overcome these obstacles.
 

With expertise in behavioural and developmental optometry, we focus on more than just eyesight. We help improve how children use their vision to interact with the world around them.
 

What Makes Our Approach Different?
 

Behavioural & Developmental Optometry - We assess how well your child sees, as well as how their eyes work together for reading, attention, and coordination.

​

Focus on Visual Processing - We evaluate how the brain interprets visual information and how that impacts learning, concentration, and performance.

​

Vision Therapy & Eye Training - We provide customised vision therapy programs to improve eye tracking, focusing, and eye teaming for reading difficulties that are sometimes associated with Specific Learning Disorders such as Dyslexia. 

​

Learning & Academic Support - Many children have undetected vision problems that affect their school performance. We help identify and address these issues early.

 

Holistic, Child-Centered Care - Our exams and treatments consider how vision development affects motor skills, spatial awareness, and overall growth.

 

Functional Vision Improvement - We aim to enhance visual efficiency, making it easier for kids to focus, learn, and perform everyday tasks with ease.
