Up to 80% of what your child learns as school is through their vision, so it is no surprise that poor eyesight could hinder their academic performance or make school work uncomfortable and unpleasant.
Our optometrist is experience in children's vision assessment and only recommends glasses when there is evidence that it will improve their vision and quality of life.
Our clinic is equipped with a dedicated vision therapy room to treat eye conditions related to binocular vision disorders. Signs of untreated binocular vision disorders include: double vision, eye strain, blurriness, feeling fatigued, headaches, difficulty reading and avoidance of school work.
As a parent it can be difficult at times to know that your child has a vision problem, as they themselves may think that how they see is normal!
If your child complains of any of these problems, please make sure to have their eyes tested

We aim to make your child's eye exam as pleasant and fuss free as possible. We have a dedicated waiting area to make sure they feel safe and welcome before they even start their exam.
