Behavioural & Vision Training
Behavioural Vision is a broad term that covers a number of different assessments and treatments related to the efficient functioning of the visual system (or the eye’s “behaviours”).
More than each eye simply seeing well, the eyes functioning well together is critical to the visual system working at its best. There are many reasons for visual dysfunction, from congenital problems through to traumatic brain injury.
At Rose Optometry we will assess the issues and create a customised treatment plan to suit the specific needs of individuals.
Frequently asked questions
In NZ an optometrist can calculate the prescription for glasses, fit contact lenses, diagnose and treat eye conditions and infections with medication. They can also manage ocular injuries including removing foreign objects. If surgery or specialist treatment is required they can refer to an ophthalmologist (eye surgeon), hospital, or other health care specialist. NZ-trained optometrists must complete a 5-year degree at the University of Auckland before becoming registered.
A dispensing optician has formal training in optical dispensing. They are qualified to help a client choose frames, read a prescription, discuss lens options, take measurements, order and fit glasses.
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who has specialised in the treatment of serious eye disease and ocular surgery such as cataract removal. They do not typically prescribe glasses or contact lenses.
