Meet Adrian – Your Behavioural Optometist
“I’m Adrian, and I help children and adults overcome vision-related learning and coordination difficulties.”
With extensive experience in behavioural optometry, I work closely with patients to strengthen their visual skills, making reading, writing, and daily tasks easier.
Let’s uncover the root cause of your vision challenges and create a plan that works for you.
The symptoms and signs
Words move or blur while reading
Poor concentration or skipping lines
Clumsiness or trouble judging distance
Struggling with reading, writing, or learning
Concussions and head trauma
Did you know vision problems are common after concussions?
Many people experience dizziness, double vision, difficulty focusing, and headaches long after a head injury.
Specialty glasses and vision rehabilitation therapy can help retrain your brain and eyes to work together, improving balance and clarity.
If you’re still experiencing symptoms after a concussion, don’t ignore them—your vision might be the missing piece of the puzzle.
Our Philosophy – Vision Beyond 20/20
We believe that seeing clearly is just the beginning. True vision involves how your eyes process and interpret the world. Our holistic approach ensures that you or your child can succeed in learning, sports, and daily life without visual barriers holding you back.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Behavioural Optometry and a regular eye test?

Can vision therapy help with learning difficulties?
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Yes! If a child struggles with reading, writing, or concentration, an undiagnosed vision issue could be the cause. We provide tailored programs to improve visual skills for better learning outcomes.
How long does vision therapy take?
Your Subtitle Goes Here
It varies depending on the condition. Some patients see improvements in a few weeks, while others may need ongoing therapy over several months.
Can adults benefit from vision therapy?

How do I know if my child needs an eye test?
Your Subtitle Goes Here
If your child struggles with reading, complains of headaches, squints, or has trouble concentrating at school, an eye test can help identify any vision problems. We recommend children have their first eye test by age three and then regularly as they grow.
What is Ortho-K, and who is it for?

Ortho-K lenses are specially designed, custom-fit contact lenses that gently reshape your cornea while you sleep. They are ideal for children with myopia (short-sightedness) and adults looking for a non-surgical alternative to glasses or contact lenses.
