His passion for linking vision with learning and his unique approach to solving complex problems using innovation led to him specialising in behavioural optometry.</p><p> </p><p>He has helped hundreds of dyslexics to learn, study and work more effectively through a deeper understanding of their visual system. He has helped to develop pioneering eye-tracking technology and a range of detailed assessments to better assess the individual needs of his dyslexic patients. His tailored vision therapy and exercises have resulted in a range of benefits for his patients, from improved academic results in children to increased capability leading to better career prospects in his adult patients. </p><p> </p><p>Bhavin Shah graduated from UMIST (University of Manchester) in 1996. Since he qualified as an Optometrist in 1997, he has been dedicated to delivering exceptional eye care to his patient community. With a passion to understand and explain the unexplained, he delved deeper into understanding complex vision conditions and challenges to help people better use their eyes to achieve their full visual potential. By studying behaviour optometry further, he was able to explore the link between vision, learning and information processing. </p><p> </p><p>His passion for technology and innovation as well as improving children’s vision have resulted in his national recognition as Contact lens practitioner of the year (2019 and 2020), and for his own practice, Central Vision Opticians to be recognised as Children’s contact lens practice of the year (2018), Technology practice of the Year (2020).</p><p> </p><p>Connect with Bhavin online:</p><p>Instagram: @centralvisionopticians </p><p>Facebook: @centralvisionop </p><p>Twitter: @bhavinvisionary </p><p> </p><p><strong>This podcast is funded by Equip, Education Skills Funding Agency & European Social Fund.</strong></p><br><hr><p style="color:grey;font-size:0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
