CHILDREN'S EYECARE
Our experienced optometrists take a caring and comforting approach to children’s eye care. During our children’s eye examinations, we use methods that are easy for the child so they won’t feel pressured and can enjoy a pleasant experience. We also offer a range of children’s glasses and our dispensing opticians are happy to help assist with the choosing of frames and lenses.We recommend that your child has a sight test at least once every two years and more frequently if there is a cause for concern.
