Vision Therapy On The Central Coast

Is an eye program designed to improve the way your eyes and brain work together.

Vision therapy is a personalised, optometrist-directed program

Seeing clearly and having healthy eyes doesn’t necessarily mean that your eyes are functioning at their best. Your eyes process visual information most efficiently when they are focusing, teaming, and tracking together. When these skills are not integrated with the brain, even with clear vision, they can impact learning, concentration, and everyday activities.

However, with effective vision therapy, these challenges can be overcome, opening up new possibilities for clearer, more comfortable vision and improved learning or daily performance.
At Eyes by Design, we provide tailored therapy programs to strengthen visual skills and help you or your child achieve more comfortable, efficient vision

What Is Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy is like “physiotherapy for the eyes and brain.”Some of the areas vision therapy can help with include:

Eye teaming (how well your eyes work together)
Focusing flexibility (shifting between near and far vision)
Tracking (following words across a page or objects in motion)
Visual processing (understanding and remembering what you see)
Hand-eye coordination and visual-motor skills

Who Can Benefit from Vision Therapy?

Vision therapy may be recommended for people of any age experiencing:

Difficulty with reading, concentration, or learning
Eyestrain, headaches, or fatigue when using screens or reading
Double vision or blurred vision that isn’t corrected with glasses
Struggles with depth perception or coordination (e.g., sports)
Post-concussion or traumatic brain injury vision issues

Without support, these difficulties can lead to frustration, fatigue, or lower self-esteem.
A behavioural approach helps uncover the “hidden” visual issues that traditional eye tests may miss.

Adults may notice similar symptoms, especially after long screen use or visually demanding work.

Vision Therapy for Children

Children with underdeveloped visual skills may struggle with learning despite being bright and capable. Signs that vision therapy may help include:

Skipping lines when reading
Difficulty copying from the board
Poor reading comprehension
Avoiding homework or reading tasks
Reduced confidence in school

Helping children develop strong visual skills can improve not only their learning but also their confidence and enjoyment in everyday activities

Book a Vision Therapy Assessment

If your child is struggling with reading, concentration, or confidence, or if you’re an adult experiencing ongoing eye strain or binocular vision issues, it may be time for a vision assessment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked an appointment here not knowing what to expect after reading about behavioral optometry. Upon meeting Dr Nick I felt at ease and he was extremely validating accommodating. I have adhd and anxiety and he made me feel comfortable and even went the further steps to fully explain in detail the processes and technologies he uses. This was such a positive experience for me and he and Raymond have been nothing short of understanding and accommodating with me. After the appointment Raymond was so extremely nice helping me choose frames and answering my questions. The ongoing support has also been amazing. I would recommend eyes by design to everyone but especially to neurodivergent people. Thankyou so much ☺️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was really impressed with Dr Nick. He was so good with my 3 year old and explained things to me very clearly. I had a couple of questions once I got home and it was bother at all to call him and ask and get clear answers. I fee confident in the care I received for my child at Eyes by Design

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Eyes by Design Kincumber highly enough! The service here is always outstanding, and Nick’s knowledge and attention to detail are second to none. Even after moving interstate three years ago, I still make the trip back because no one else gets it right like Nick does. The care taken to ensure glasses and contacts fit perfectly makes all the difference—you always walk away with the best possible comfort and vision. If you’re looking for glasses, contacts, or any optical needs, this is the only place I recommend. Truly exceptional service every time!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Nick is so welcoming, he makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk into the practice. There was no rush, no upsell, lots of knowledge and explaining without being overloaded. I was treated as a person not a number, all professionalism and kindness, even down to choosing frames. The team at Eyes By Design know their stuff and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Dr Nick to anyone.
