In July Sally received her certificate at The Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrists conference. This was the result of a lot of extra work, online and in person workshops and case studies over the past three years.

The goal of this program is to equip optometrists with skills for all aspects of neuro-optometry examination, diagnosis and management.

The course covers optometric assessment and treatment of the visual sequelae of concussion, whiplash, stroke, head injury and neurological conditions, collectively known as acquired brain injury (ABI).

These skills are in high demand with understanding of the role of optometrist care in improving outcome for people with ABIs. It has led to a steady stream of bookings with Sally, one of a small group of Optometrists in New zealand, with this endorsement.
