Children's Vision

As part of your child's regular health checks it is recommended to get their eyes tested every 12 to 18 months; even if things seem fine. Often young children may not understand the difference between how they see and how they should be seeing. That is where we come in!

Our Optometrist has a strong focus on picking up vision problems in young children at the earliest possible stage in order to treat and manage any emerging conditions. This includes vision corrections to encourage optimum learning capabilities.

The best possible vision a child can have contributes to their academic success; after all, the easier it is to read a word, the easier it is to learn it.

Our focus is on your child's eye health, therefore your child's sight test will always be bulk billed to Medicare at our practices.
