Children's Eyecare

As with the majority of medical conditions, the sooner eye problems are diagnosed the more likely they are to be successfully treated. However, in most cases, children aren’t even aware they have eye conditions, so don’t rely on them to tell you. Problems with vision can mean difficulty seeing the board or reading at school, which can quickly develop into boredom, disruptive behaviour and even a lack of interest in education altogether. For this reason, it’s important to make sure your child has their eyes checked regularly. Aim to have their eyes checked at around the time they are due to start school, so if there are any issues they can be managed early on.
