People underestimate optometry. Even other optometrists. We can do more than check eye health and letter charts. I'm Simoné Fanoy, an accredited behavioural optometrist, neuro-optometrist, and vision therapist. Nine years in, and I still love my job. My interest is personal. Childhood concussions shaped how I learned and behaved in class. So, I genuinely understand what my patients experience. There are many complaints that tell me someone's eyes and brain aren't working together: Slow reading, poor comprehension, poor balance, misjudging distances, overwhelm in traffic or busy spaces... And it's my job to figure out why these symptoms occur. But I also rely on other allied health professionals to get the best results for my patients. Looking forward to collaborating with other professionals on this platform.
