Children

“They only have one pair of eyes”

Blurred vision can hinder a Childs development -
and failure to spot and treat any vision problems
early on in young eyes can often lead to further
difficulties in later life. Bring your children for
regular eye tests.

All new born babies are screened before they
leave hospital to ensure their eyes are working
properly.

Health visitors carry out a 39 month assessment
and their excellent work is a major source
of referrals to optometrists for more detailed
investigations.

All children should have a full eye examination
before they go to primary school and
regularly thereafter. Research has shown that
development of a child’s visual system is largely
complete by the age of 8, after which there is
little scope for improvement in ‘lazy eyes’. So,
the earlier treatment is started the better the
possible results.

Remember that all children’s eye examination
are paid for by the NHS. At Eyewear Direct we
are happy to see children of any age.
