Regular eye examinations could be crucial for your child's healthcare and personal development.

Ideally your child should have an eye test before his or her first birthday, with further check-ups at around eighteen months and three years. That way any problems can be discovered well before school starts. A large proportion of squints, for example, develop before the age of three.

It doesn't matter if your child is too young to talk or read a letter chart. Our optometrist (ophthalmic optician) can use a range of techniques and modern equipment to detect visual problems at any age. You are also encouraged to take part in the eye test and ask any questions about your child's vision.
