Moffatt Kidz

Moffatt Optical’s visual screening procedure includes a computerised auto-refraction, checking of visual acuity and ability, colour vision, the eye’s binocular status (tracking, alignment, ability to work together), depth perception plus a careful internal and external examination of ocular health.

Moffatt Optical offers an on-site school screening service at a nominal fee per child and which is tailored to the age of the child. A written report is supplied with the results of each child’s screening, indicating whether a comprehensive vision test is recommended.

Signs of eyestrain that parents and educators should be aware of and investigate include:

• Repeated and unexplained headaches;
• Dyslexia, spelling mistakes, squinting, watering eyes, colour mixing and tilting of the head;
• A deterioration of performance in the classroom and/or on the sports field; and
• Sitting too close to the television.

Moffatt Optical will also conduct vision screening at businesses, old age homes and so on. To arrange for on-site screening, contact Penny on 033 342 1352.
