Casha has been practicing as an optometrist in South Africa for 30 years after qualifying in 1991 at the University of Johannesburg. Over the years, she has furthered her knowledge and cultivated her passion for binocular vision, visual therapy, and neuro-optometry. She completed the Diagnostics and Binocular Vision CAS from the New England College of Optometry. She attended numerous courses in visual therapy and visual-related difficulties in the UK. She is a member of the British Association of Behavioral Optometrists. Casha is interested in neuro-optometry and has furthered her studies in cortical vision impairment. She attends regular workshops and courses in neuro-optometry and is a member of the Neuro-Optometric Association. She is currently working towards her fellowship in Neuro Optometry. Casha owns three optometric practices in greater Johannesburg, trading under “Eyetek.” Eyetek provides vision solutions to patients with poor binocular skills and strabismus, providing support with optical solutions and multi-sensory visual therapy. Eyetek also provides visual rehabilitation for patients with brain injuries. Casha is a regular speaker at schools and neuro-rehabilitation hospitals and hosts workshops for optometrists. The title of my talk will be: “The Hidden link between vision and learning.”
