Paediatric Eye Care

Many children don't realise they have a vision problem because they assume everyone sees the same way they do. Poor eyesight can affect learning, reading, sports, and confidence without obvious signs.

Routine eye examinations help identify vision problems early, giving your child the best opportunity to learn, grow, and enjoy everyday life.

Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Examination

If your child experiences any of the following, it may be time to book an eye examination:

  • Squints when reading or watching television
  • Holds books or digital devices very close
  • Frequently rubs their eyes
  • Complains of headaches or tired eyes
  • Struggles with reading or schoolwork
  • Loses their place while reading
  • Has an eye that turns inward or outward
  • Has a family history of eye conditions

What to Expect

Our experienced optometrists provide gentle, child-friendly eye examinations in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Your child's examination may include:

  • Vision assessment
  • Eye focusing and movement tests
  • Eye health examination
  • Prescription assessment
  • Personalised recommendations

Why Early Eye Care Matters

Early detection can help:

  • Support learning and academic performance
  • Improve confidence and participation
  • Encourage healthy visual development
  • Detect eye conditions before they become more serious
  • Provide timely treatment when needed

When Should Children Have Their Eyes Tested?

Children should have regular eye examinations even if they don't show obvious symptoms. Early assessments help identify vision problems before they begin affecting learning, development, or everyday activities.
