Meet Ambassador & Behavioural Optometrist – Simoné Fanoy

Simoné Fanoy

TAHH Ambassador & Behavioural Optometrist

Behavioural optometry is a discipline that sits at the centre of a surprisingly wide clinical web. A child who struggles to read, can’t sit still, has poor handwriting or coordination are often the patients an OT, psychologist or paediatrician sees first. But behind many of these presentations sits a vision problem that hasn’t been identified yet.

Simoné Fanoy has built her career at the intersection where behavioural optometry connects with disability, paediatrics, neuro, aged care and beyond.
Her practice doesn’t exist in isolation. The best outcomes for her patients depend on other disciplines too. That commitment to collaboration and cross-discipline thinking is exactly why she’s part of this community. Welcome to Simoné as a 2026/27 Hub Ambassador!

‘I rely on experts in other professions to fill the gaps that I can’t. My expertise begins and ends with vision – I need other Allied Health professionals to support my patients in ways my practice can’t.’
