Optometry for Neurological Conditions

Join Darrell Baker, Optometrist at Bullseye Optometry Clinic, Leeming, for an insightful lecture exploring the intersection of neurology and vision. Drawing on years of clinical expertise, Darrell will delve into the optometric assessment and management of visual disturbances caused by neurological conditions—including stroke, acquired brain injury, chronic migraine, and binocular vision dysfunction.

Gain practical knowledge of the therapeutic and rehabilitative tools used to restore visual comfort and function, and experience firsthand the techniques that are transforming patient outcomes. This session promises to be both educational and interactive, offering valuable takeaways for physiotherapists.

Presenter

Darrell Baker is an optometrist and the Director of Bullseye Clinic.

Darrell’s fascination with eyes and vision began as far back as primary school. He graduated in Johannesburg in 1986 and worked in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK before migrating to Australia in 1999 where he worked as a partner in an independent practice for 12 years.

Meeting people, being able to make a positive impact on a person’s quality of life, and educating patients about vision is what Darrell loves most about his profession. Darrell’s primary interest is in the care and management of neurological conditions. He has completed a post-graduate qualification in the management of neuro-ophthalmic disorders, as well as a graduate certificate in ocular therapeutics, and has recently held the position of President of the national board of Optometry Australia. He is a director on the board of the Australian College of Optometry, and sits on the Optometry Australia Advanced Practice Oversight Committee. Darrell regularly presents to local physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and other health care professionals about vision’s role in a person’s treatment and recovery when suffering injury or neurological disease.
