Our Services
the seeing brain provides mobile orthoptic care and functional vision assessments.
We come to you—at home, school, or in the community—so we can understand how vision is being used in everyday life, where it actually matters.
Areas we service: Brisbane, Ipswich, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and selected regional Queensland areas
What we offer
-
Mobile functional vision assessments and orthoptic support
-
Practical, real-world strategies for everyday environments
-
Guidance for families, educators, and support teams
Our focus is on understanding how vision works in daily life, not just in clinical settings.
"Orthoptics is a discipline in eye healthcare specialising in the assessment, diagnosis and non-surgical management of eye disorders."
What is an Orthoptist?
How the Assessment Works
Referral
Parents, medical specialists, and allied health professionals can refer directly.
No formal referral is required—just get in touch.
If available, please provide any ophthalmology reports completed within the last 6 months.
Vision Screening Questionnaire
We'll send you a parent questionnaire to help us understand :
-
how your child uses their vision in everyday life
-
how it impacts their daily activities and
-
and the goals you're currently working on with your multidisciplinary team
Play-Based, Real-life Assessment
Initial assessments are conducted where the child is most comfortable, and scheduled at a time when they are well rested.
For most children, this is typically in the morning/after naps in their home.
Further assessments are also done in real-life settings such as shopping centres, playgroups, libraries, and playgrounds.
What to expect
Every person is different, so we take time to understand how they communicate, what matters to them, and what works best for their family.
From there, we:
-
Observe functional vision in real environments
-
Identify strengths and challenges
-
Develop personalised, practical strategies
-
Support implementation across home, school, and community settings
Our goal is to create support that is achievable, meaningful, and embedded in everyday life—not separate from it.
