Children’s eyecare
From playground adventures to bedtime stories, your child deserves to experience their childhood in crystal-clear detail. That’s why taking care of our younger customers is such a passion for us.
Why it’s important to look after your child’s vision
Clear vision is incredibly important as your child grows, whether it’s catching a football, mastering handwriting or spotting their best friend across the playground. Comprehensive early eye care helps lay the foundation for their emotional, physical and educational development.
Common conditions
Regular eye examinations will help pick up common eye conditions that can impact your child's quality of life. Early detection allows us to begin treatment quickly and improves the chances of success so your child can enjoy clear, healthy vision.
Growing eyes can face various challenges, including:
- Short-sightedness (myopia) – an inability to see things clearly in the distance
- Long-sightedness (hyperopia) – an inability to see things clearly that are close
- Lazy eye (amblyopia) – where the brain doesn’t properly process information from one eye, leading to poor vision in this eye
- Squint (strabismus) – where the eyes point in different directions, leading to blurred or double vision.
Early signs to look out for
A parent’s instincts are fine-tuned, so look out for these signs that your child might have an eye condition:
- Sitting too close to screens or books
- Frequently rubbing their eyes
- Tilting their head or covering one eye
- Clumsiness or poor hand-eye coordination
- Headaches or tired eyes
- Difficulty concentrating
- Poor performance in sports or reading.
