Welcome to SeeingMind. I’m here to help you navigate the complex relationship between your eyes and your brain. Whether you are seeking answers for reading difficulties or recovering from a neurological event, my goal is to provide a supportive, professional, and personalised approach to your visual health—all from the comfort of your own home.
Visual Stress: The Vision Element of Dyslexia
For many children and adults, the struggle with reading isn’t just about phonics or language; it’s about how the brain processes visual information. Visual Stress (sometimes referred to as Meares-Irlen Syndrome) can make words appear to move, vibrate, or blur on the page.
- For the Young: We help children find comfort in reading by reducing visual distortions, often through the use of specific colours and overlays, allowing them to reach their full academic potential without the frustration of “tired eyes.”
- For the Older: Adults often develop coping mechanisms but may still suffer from headaches or light sensitivity. We provide adult-focused assessments to make digital screens and long-form text manageable again.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) & Vision
A traumatic brain injury can disrupt the delicate communication lines between the eyes and the brain. Even if your “eyesight” is 20/20, you may experience significant “vision” issues. We look beyond basic sight to assess how your brain integrates visual data, helping to manage symptoms like dizziness, light sensitivity, and spatial disorientation.
Concussion & Visual Recovery
Concussions are often “invisible” injuries, but their impact on vision is very real. Patients frequently experience difficulty focusing, blurred vision, or a feeling of being “overwhelmed” in busy environments. By identifying these specific visual dysfunctions early, we can implement strategies to help the brain recover and reduce the strain of daily tasks.
Vision Related to Strokes
A stroke can affect the visual pathways in several ways, including loss of peripheral vision (hemianopia) or the onset of double vision. These changes can be frightening and deeply impact your independence. At SeeingMind, we work with stroke survivors to maximize their remaining vision, improve scanning techniques, and provide tools to navigate their environment safely and confidently.
Private Home Visits
I believe that the best place to assess your vision is where you use it most. By providing private home visits, I can see firsthand the lighting conditions and environmental factors that affect your daily life. This “clinic-to-couch” approach reduces the stress of travel—which is often a trigger for neuro-optometry patients—and ensures a relaxed, thorough examination in a space where you feel most comfortable.
