​My son Jonathon Niemi was diagnosed with Dyspraxia with visual problems by The Glasgow Dyslexic Institute in 2002, aged 9. I found the details of the Vision Therapy treatment offered by Mr Bill Hay, Jenson and Ledingham Opticians, Aberdeen online, and as we live in Aviemore, Inverness-shire, this was only 100 miles away. I arranged a consultation to see what was offered. Jonathon was examined by Mr Hay and we were told that he could treat Jonathon, but he would need to work with a neuro-developmental therapist first. This took a year of various exercises being performed on a daily…

​In 2012 the school our daughter attends said that she might benefit from vision therapy. She found reading very difficult, skipped lines and became tired and frustrated after a relatively short period of time. In addition, she enjoyed sport but found catching a ball difficult. As a result of these issues she lacked confidence. We live near Arbroath and found Jenson and Ledingham Opticians through the internet. We spoke to Mr Hay about the problems that Hannah was having and he undertook an assessment of the issues. The initial report confirmed a lot of the observations we had made ourselves…

When my son Alex O’Collard was 12 years old, his eyes started to roll and flicker. He found trying to concentrate at school became a problem with his eyes constantly moving. I took him to see an optician in Aberdeen and was told there was nothing they could do. He was becoming self-conscious and distressed and people were commenting on his eyes. It is bad enough being a 12 to 13 year old entering puberty without your eyes rolling too. I took him to see my GP at Scotstown Medical Centre, Dr Paul Rhodes, and he suggested I took Alex…

I went to see Mr Hay of Jenson & Ledingham initially to help me with problems I was having with my vision and reading. Mr Hay conducted an eye test and I was prescribed with my new glasses. After a couple of weeks I went back to Mr Hay as I was still having problems with my vision and the ability to read. During this consultation with Mr Hay, we discussed that the problem I was experiencing was not with my sight and suggested ‘Vision Therapy’. The following week I completed an in-depth medical and behavioural questionnaire, which when reviewed,…

​After years of suffering with double vision with both long and short distances struggling to drive and read, having non-stop headaches because of it. Having constant trips back and forth to my opticians with no resolve, with referrals back and forth to the hospital for examinations, to be told I just have to exercise my eyes! I was really fed up, unhappy and stressed about it. After changing opticians hoping to get some help, my new optician decided to refer me to Bill Hay at Jenson and Ledingham. I am so grateful that he did, I was genuinely shocked, surprised…
