Adults can usually express their concerns about eye health – for youngsters it’s a little different. We’ll often learn a lot about your child’s needs just by watching. We might spot signs of problems in their behaviour, such as difficulty with reading or coordination. Of course, we’re also here to help with any routine needs for glasses.
To get the best results, our tests are tailored to suit your child’s age. We focus on detecting issues like strabismus (misaligned eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye). We’ll walk them through tests using pediatric eye charts with pictures. We sometimes use drops to measure refractive errors – that’s when the shape of your eye prevents light from focusing properly.
