About

Ruth Perrott is the Managing Optometrist at VisionCare Development in York, a clinic she founded to specialise in Neuro-Developmental optometry. With over 50 years of experience in Optometry, Ruth dedicated more than half of her career to Developmental Optometry, focusing on conditions such as dyslexia and mild traumatic brain injury.
As one of approximately 50 accredited Neuro-Developmental Optometrists in the UK, Ruth is a member of the  The Association of Neuro-Developmental and Behavioural Optometrists (ANBO) , the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (USA), the Australian College of Behavioural Optometry, and the Optometric Extension Program Foundation.

Beyond her clinical work, Ruth has been collecting and upcycling discarded spectacles for 30 years, with the assistance of Rotary York Ainsty.
