THE BEST CARE FOR YOUR CHILD
At Green’s Opticians, we understand that having an eye test can be a scary – or boring! – experience for your child. We’ll do our best to make it fun while our optometrist measures:
The performance and acuity of your child’s eyes
Vision development
Any prescription requirements
Anomalies in your child’s vision, including early indicators of lazy eye syndrome
80% of children’s learning comes through visual processing. That is a staggering percentage of their overall development. If you’ve noticed that your child is struggling to read, is standing abnormally close to your television or is squinting when they refocus, it’s time to book an appointment to get their eyes checked. Children should have their sight tested annually to give us the best chance of monitoring and correcting any abnormalities with their eyesight.
Regular sight testing is crucial to ensuring that your child’s development isn’t being impaired by poor vision. If you’re concerned about your child’s eyesight, book an appointment to visit us today.
