Children’s Eyecare
How often should my child have an eye test?
Children should have an eye test at least every two years or more frequently if advised by their optometrist. Early detection of vision problems is crucial for effective treatment.
Are glasses fully covered by the NHS?
The NHS offers help towards the cost of glasses for children. Our team can guide you in choosing stylish and affordable frames your child will love.
At what age can children start wearing contact lenses?
There’s no specific age limit for contact lenses; it depends on the child’s maturity and ability to care for them. Our optometrists will provide a personalised assessment to determine suitability.
What are the signs my child may need an eye test?
Signs include squinting, rubbing their eyes frequently, difficulty concentrating, or struggling with schoolwork. If you notice any of these, book an eye test as soon as possible.
