complain about poor eyesight, they simply adapt to it. A gentle, age-appropriate examination can pick up focusing and developmental concerns early, while they are easiest to manage.
What to expect
We suggest a first eye examination before school age, and regular checks through the school years, especially if a child is struggling with reading, seems clumsy, or sits very close to screens or the television. We keep the process relaxed and unhurried, using tests suited to your child’s age, and explain everything to both child and parent along the way.
