Children's Eye Care

EYE CARE THAT FEELS LIKE PLAY

Four out of five classroom learning problems linked to vision are treatable when caught early — yet children rarely complain. Our paediatric exams are built to spot what kids can't describe: tracking games, picture charts and gentle drops-free screening where possible.

Every visit runs at your child's pace. We explain each instrument before it comes near, celebrate small wins, and send parents home with a clear picture of their child's sight and what comes next.

Good To Know

PARENTS ASK US

We recommend a first full exam around age three, or sooner if you notice squinting, eye turns, or delays. After that, a check every one to two years keeps development on track.

No — testing is painless and feels like games. We only suggest dilating drops when we need a deeper look, and we always explain why first.

Watch for sitting very close to screens, rubbing eyes often, headaches after school, or avoiding reading. Any of these is a good reason to book an exam.

Yes. We stock flexible, break-resistant kids' frames and fit them the same day, with free adjustments whenever they get sat on, dropped or outgrown.
