This is a multi-professional team comprising paediatricians, orthoptists, optometrists and specialist teachers for children with visual impairments. We provide Functional Visual Assessments to diagnose visual impairment and provide support to children, young people and families.
The paediatricians also provide specialist developmental assessment for children who have a visual impairment. We run outpatient clinics in Armitstead Child Development Centre and Perth Royal Infirmary.
We accept referrals from the eye clinic, teachers and other health professionals.
We work to the pathways and standards of the Scottish Visual Impairment Network for Children and Young People (VINCYP).
