Amelia Na Jiao

Amelia practiced for several years prior to joining us at Leverett & Kindler in 2018. With an interest in medicine and healthcare, she was inspired to be an optometrist and her philosophy of practice is looking at vision problems holistically. In addition to addressing the presenting visual needs of her patients, she looks to also investigate why and how these visual problems developed, and offer advice on any indicated prevention.

Amelia has a special interest in children’s vision and learning related vision problems, as well as neuro-optometric rehabilitation for patients with visual symptoms from concussions, whiplash, strokes, head injuries, visual snow, and neurological conditions; collectively known as acquired brain injury (ABI). She has done extensive postgraduate studies in this area, including a Master of Optometry from University of New South Wales and Vision Therapy Courses. In addition to pursuing research, Amelia was involved in a pilot study investigating the use of virtual reality in vision therapy. She also has had experience in advanced treatment for dry eyes and fitting orthokeratology lenses.

Outside of work, Amelia enjoys cooking for her family and catching up with her friends.
