Looking beyond seeing clearly: Anstice Optometrists
Meet the optometrists supporting Christchurch families.
“When we think about children’s vision, we often ask, ‘Can they see the board clearly?’” says Dharshie Hughes of Anstice Optometrists. “But learning relies on much more than distance sight. Children spend hours reading, writing and shifting focus between books, devices and whiteboards.” Efficient visual skills – including sustained near focus, accurate eye coordination, and quick near-to-far adjustment – allow learning to feel comfortable and natural.
When these systems are under strain, children may experience headaches, blurred print, fatigue, or reduced concentration. “A comprehensive Schoolvision® Assessment looks beyond clarity alone, supporting confident, comfortable learning throughout the school day,” advises Dharshie.
