20/20 Sight ‘n’ Style are a family run independent Behavioural Optometric Practice which has been providing thorough children and adult eye-care to our community for over 14 years. Optometrists Suzanne and George Sahely each bring 20 years experience in managing the visual needs of children, and are the only optometrists on the Peninsula with post. graduate Fellowships in Behavioural Optometry.
Studies indicate up to 80% of learning takes place through the eyes. It is recommended that children have their first optometric examination at 6 months of age, and then every 2 years thereafter. Our goal is to ensure each individual’s visual system is functioning as efficiently as possible and is not limiting learning or affecting performance in the classroom or sporting field. We pride ourselves on making the eye examination process enjoyable for children and on thoroughly explaining all findings to parents so they may make an informed decision on how best to help their child.
