We Specialise In Your Special Eyes
At Eyetreat, we look beyond how clearly you can see.
Our focus is on how your eyes work together, how effectively you process visual information, and how vision affects everyday life — from reading and learning to work, driving, sport and rehabilitation after neurological injury.
We provide specialised Orthoptic assessment and treatment for children and adults across Sydney, with clinics in Penshurst, Bella Vista and Bankstown.
Vision Is More Than 20/20
A person can have clear eyesight and still experience significant visual difficulties.
Headaches when reading, losing your place, double vision, difficulty focusing, visual fatigue, problems judging depth, changes after a stroke or brain injury, or difficulty processing visual information can all affect everyday function even when a standard eyesight test appears normal.
This is where Orthoptics can help.
Our role is to investigate how the eyes move, focus and work together, and how visual information is being used during real-world tasks.
Who We Help
Every patient comes to Eyetreat for a different reason.
We work with:
-
children experiencing eye coordination, focusing, amblyopia, strabismus or visual information processing difficulties;
-
students whose visual skills may be affecting reading, writing or classroom performance;
-
adults experiencing eye strain, double vision, binocular vision or focusing difficulties;
-
people recovering from stroke, concussion or traumatic brain injury who have experienced changes to their visual fields, eye movements or visual function;
-
drivers requiring specialised visual field or functional vision assessment;
-
NDIS participants requiring Orthoptic assessment, therapy or visual rehabilitation.
Our services include Orthoptic Assessments, Visual Information Processing Assessments, Vision Therapy, neurological Visual Rehabilitation, Driving Vision Assessments, prism assessment and other Orthoptic treatment.
A Practical, Individual Approach
No two visual problems are exactly the same, so treatment should not be one-size-fits-all.
We begin by identifying which visual skills are actually affected and how they are influencing everyday function.
Where treatment is appropriate, recommendations may include prescription glasses, prisms, Vision Therapy, visual rehabilitation, home-based activities, compensatory strategies or referral to another eye or healthcare professional.
Not every patient requires therapy.
Our priority is to understand the problem first, explain the findings clearly and recommend the most appropriate next step.
Working Beyond the Clinic
Improving vision care also means helping parents, teachers, health professionals and the wider community understand how vision can affect everyday performance.
Eyetreat provides presentations, workshops and educational programs for:
-
schools, teachers and learning-support teams;
-
parents and carers;
-
medical and allied health professionals;
-
workplaces and community organisations.
We also provide on-site vision screening and educational programs for schools and other organisations.
Through this work, we aim to improve awareness of functional vision difficulties and help people recognise when a more comprehensive visual assessment may be needed.
Working Together With Other Professionals
Vision rarely exists in isolation.
Where appropriate, we work collaboratively with Optometrists, Ophthalmologists, GPs, rehabilitation physicians, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Speech Pathologists, Neuropsychologists, teachers, case managers and other professionals involved in a patient's care.
This multidisciplinary approach is particularly important for patients with complex developmental, neurological or rehabilitation needs.
Our Story
Eyetreat has been providing Orthoptic care since 2001. The practice was established by Orthoptist Liane Wilcox and developed a strong focus on Vision Therapy and Visual Rehabilitation.
In 2025, Eyetreat entered a new chapter under the leadership of Orthoptist Lisa Raad, continuing the practice's established work while expanding its services, locations and community education programs.
Today, Eyetreat continues to combine specialised Orthoptic care with a practical focus on helping people use their vision more comfortably and effectively in everyday life.
Our Mission
To enhance quality of life through optimal vision, visual skills and greater awareness of the visual system.
Accessible Care
Eyetreat is a registered NDIS provider and provides eligible services for self-managed, plan-managed and agency-managed participants. We are also recognised by major private health funds for eligible Orthoptic services, with rebates depending on individual levels of cover.
