Welcome

Ruth Perrott Community Optometrist (RPCO)

RPCO operates from two sites:-

• Castleford in West Yorkshire
• Acomb, a western suburb of York

We are an independent business offering high levels of patient/ client satisfaction and providing specialist services.

Ruth has provided vision care for children and adults for more than 30 years and along with Daina Gromadzki and Sarah Daly, offers far more than just eye or sight tests. We provide our local community with comprehensive vision tests and in addition supply spectacle lenses, frames and contact lenses together with a range of specialist services.

As a Behavioural Optometrist, Ruth also provides in depth analysis for patients with learning and related issues, including reading difficulties, dyslexia, AD(H)D, dyscalculia and other disorders in the autistic spectrum.

Having 6/6 or 20/20 eyesight, does not mean that you have perfect vision. Children and adults who experience high visual demands may experience visual stress and have undetected visual problems, which interfere with their ability to perform. Symptoms such as poor visual memory, resulting in loss of place, visual fatigue, blur at distance and near, headaches (migraine), reduced comprehension and difficulties in concentration, indicate a developmental and/ or a visual stress problem. Optometric Vision Therapy can reduce or eliminate these problems, so that there is a maximum return for the effort expended. Thereby enabling the individual to enjoy the tasks(s) in front of them and therefore becoming more successful and enthusiastic.
