Eye Exams for Under 19's

We recommend bringing your child in for their first eye exam from the age of 2 years old. This early assessment allows us to establish a baseline for their eye health and vision development, ensuring any potential issues are caught and addressed promptly.

Yes, even if your child doesn't complain about vision problems, regular eye exams are essential. Children are incredibly adaptable and may not realise they have a vision issue, as they assume everyone sees the world the same way they do. Early detection helps prevent future problems.

Our friendly opticians use age-appropriate tests and techniques to assess your child's vision and eye health, ensuring the experience is positive and enjoyable.
In some cases, we may need to use eye drops fora more comprehensive assessment, but we only do so when absolutely necessary and with your full consent. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment that makes children excited to come back for future check-ups.
