Our friendly, professional team is trained to create a comfortable environment during eye tests, ensuring high-quality care. Regular eye exams are vital for developing vision, and we use gentle techniques and the latest technology to assess your child’s eye health. Whether it’s their first test or a routine check-up, we explain the process in simple terms. If glasses are needed, we offer a variety of fun, durable frames, making the selection process enjoyable and stress-free for families.
Children's Eye Care FAQs
At what age should my child have their first eye exam?
We normally recommend that children have their first eye exam at around 3 years of age. Early detection of vision issues is crucial as it can significantly impact on development and learning. Regular check-ups should continue as they grow and visual needs change.
What signs indicate that my child may need an eye exam?
Look for signs such as excessive rubbing or blinking of the eyes, sitting very close to the TV, holding books or toys close to their face, screwing their eyes up or closing one eye, or complaints of headaches. If your child struggles with hand-eye coordination or shows reluctance to participate in activities requiring good vision, it’s important to schedule an eye exam.
Are children's eye exams different from adult exams?
Yes, children’s eye exams are tailored to their specific needs and developmental stages. Often picture matching will be used to assess vision, rather than reading a conventional letter chart. Assessment of eye muscle function and depth perception again often involve simply engaging with colourful, child-friendly images such as animals or balls. Such adaptations allow for a comfortable & enjoyable experience. We focus on assessing vision development, eye health, and any potential issues that may affect learning and play.
What types of eyewear are available for children?
We offer a wide selection of fun and durable frames designed specifically for children. Our collection includes styles that appeal to kids while providing comfort and protection. If your child needs glasses, our team will assist you in finding the perfect fit and style to boost their confidence and ensure they feel comfortable wearing them.
