NEW season – NEW technology

Vision is the most dominant of all the senses. 80% or more of all information we acquire is through sight, and 90% of our brain function is spent processing tasks related to vision. Yet, a standard vision exam lacks the ability to assess vision beyond static acuity. Better Dynamic Vision Can Lead to Improved Educational Outcomes.

We are proud to announce that we are the only practice in South Africa with the Advanced Eye tracking device called RightEye. RightEye Dynamic Vision test is a highly sophisticated, eye-movement technology system used to objectively measure, analyse and evaluate how well your eyes move or work together. Your eyes are part of the brain and this powerful technology system can therefore give us a clear view of some neurofunctions.

The RightEye Dynamic Vision test allows us to pinpoint functional vision issues that often go undetected and if left untreated can negatively impact your quality of life. We recommend all our patients receive a RightEye test annually. It is especially important if you have experienced any of the following signs of a possible functional vision problem:

• Difficulty concentrating
• Rereading or skipping lines of print
• Short attention span
• Poor reading comprehension
• Poor coordination or balance
• Slow completion of work
• Previous brain trauma (concussions, strokes)
• Loss of interest in reading
• Headaches

We can assess Dynamic vision, reading assessments as well as a specialized Sport vision module. Improve your child’ learning outcomes with the FDA-cleared RightEye Vision System™ to:

• Easily assess the visual health of your child of family member
• Identify vision problems severe enough to affect learning and behaviour
• Correct eye movement impairments through an objective, systematic approach critical to maximizing student potential

Identify Vision Tracking Impairments Impacting Learning
1 in 4 children has an undetected vision problem that interferes with reading and learning, often misinterpreted as disinterest, dyslexia, or ADHD. Seeing the letters on the traditional static eye exam is only one of the necessary vision skills students require. The RightEye Reading Skills Module™ was developed to help:

• Assess and illustrate possible deficiencies in reading and binocular vision issues
• Understand a student’s eye movements while they are reading
• Quantify reading comprehension and compare reading metrics against similar grade-level peers
• Improve reading skills with an at-home vision training program

Raise Athletic Performance to the Next Level
In sports, almost 80% of perceptual input is visual. Just because athletes can see clearly doesn’t mean they can ascertain where an object is in space, how fast it’s traveling, or if it’s changing direction. The RightEye Sports Vision Module™ identifies opportunities to strengthen performance by:

• Objectively quantifying athletic performance by gathering the amplitude and velocity of rapid, involuntary, and oscillatory ocular movements
• Comparing vision skill from a range of levels from youth to professional
• Improving sports vision with customized training programs and drills
