Children

Why does my child need a functional vision assessment?

All children who come to Vision Australia will already have had contact with an eye doctor. The doctor will have provided a diagnosis and prognosis for the eye condition.

Often parents find this doctor's visit quite stressful. They may have many unanswered questions and want practical information as to the implications any visual loss might have for education and life skills.
