Children’s Eye Tests – Gentle, Thorough & Reassuring

​

Children may not always realise or communicate that they have vision problems. Regular eye tests help identify issues early, when treatment is most effective.

Our children’s eye tests include:

• A full assessment of your child’s vision

• Checks for eye coordination, focus, and eye movement

• Screening for common childhood eye conditions

• A gentle examination of eye health

• Clear explanations for both children and parents

We adapt every appointment to suit your child’s age and needs, ensuring a relaxed and positive experience.

​

When Should Children Have an Eye Test?

​

We recommend eye tests for children:

• Before starting school

• If there is a family history of eye problems

• If teachers or parents notice difficulties with reading or concentration

• If your child experiences headaches, eye strain, or squinting

Regular eye examinations help support learning and development throughout childhood.

​

Children’s Glasses – Comfortable, Durable & Stylish

​

If your child needs glasses, we offer a carefully selected range of children’s frames designed for comfort, durability, and confidence.

Our children’s glasses are:

• Lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear

• Designed to fit growing faces securely

• Durable enough for active lifestyles

• Available in a range of colours and styles

Our team will help your child choose frames they feel happy wearing, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

​

Supporting Children’s Vision & Learning

​

Clear vision is essential for reading, writing, and classroom learning. Undetected vision problems can affect confidence, behaviour, and academic progress.

Our children’s eye care focuses on:

• Supporting healthy visual development

• Identifying vision issues early

• Providing clear advice to parents

• Monitoring changes as your child grows

We work closely with families to ensure the best outcomes for every child.

​

Contact Lenses for Older Children & Teenagers

​

For older children and teenagers, contact lenses may be suitable for sport, school, or social confidence. We provide professional fittings and ongoing support, ensuring lenses are safe and appropriate.

We’ll carefully assess readiness and provide full guidance for both children and parents.
