Behavioural Optometry and Psychology: Understanding the Interconnection
Published: 2024-12-30

Abstract

Behavioural optometry is an emerging field that explores the relationship between vision, visual processing, and overall behaviour. Unlike traditional optometry, which primarily focuses on the diagnosis and correction of refractive errors such as myopia or hyperopia, behavioural optometry considers the complex interplay between the eyes, brain, and body. By understanding how visual perception influences learning, motor function, and daily behaviour, behavioural optometrists provide holistic solutions to individuals facing visual challenges.
