Eye Tests for Children

Good sight and learning go hand in hand, and therefore children’s eye examinations are crucial for the detection of sight problems that could affect school performance and future development. Having eye tests regularly and from an early age can be important for detecting conditions that could result in eye disease or even lead to loss of sight.

It is important that your child’s eyes are tested early on as children are often more responsive to treatment when problems are diagnosed earlier.

No matter how good you think your child’s eye sight is, it’s important for them to be checked by an optician, so book an eye test for your child today. We’ll make sure they are thoroughly checked for things such as Lazy Eyes, Squints, and Long-Sightedness – all of which are common conditions in young children. Should we detect a problem we’ll advise you on the best options for your child’s sight and ensure they’re monitored closely to ensure they are progressing well with their specs. Children under the age of 16 are entitled to FREE eye exams under the NHS, as well as extra help towards the cost of any glasses! Plus, don’t forget you can now get a FREE second pair too!
