CHILDREN'S EYE CARE
Children's Eye Tests (6+)

We’re passionate about myopia (short-sightedness) management and slowing its progression with today’s interventions. For children under 6, we’ll refer you to a trusted paediatric optometrist.
What's included
- Gentle, child-friendly testing from age 6
- Myopia monitoring and management
- An honest approach – no unnecessary glasses
- Referral to a paediatric optometrist for under-6s
