Developmental Optometrist Carlsbad CA

Developmental optometry at our office

Developmental optometry, or behavioral optometry, is a specialized optometric field that focuses on visual function in its entirety. Our vision depends on more than just how clearly we see—it also requires the coordination of our two eyes and the communication between our eyes and brain. We learn how to do this as we grow from children to adults. Eye doctors who practice in this specialized field help patients improve their vision and their lives through learning processes that train critical visual skills. If you’re looking for a specialist in the Carlsbad area to help yourself or your child improve vision problems, look no further than BVC.

When to see a developmental optometrist

In addition to annual eye exams, both children and adults can benefit from functional eye exams, which evaluate how vision is working in its entirety. Vision problems, like eye strain, fatigue, double vision, or a feeling of tugging in the eyes, in addition to learning issues or difficulties with visual-motor coordination, are all signs to contact our Carlsbad office about an exam.
