Paediatric Eye Care
It has been estimated that children obtain about 80% of their information about the world through the sense of vision. For successful learning it is therefore essential that every child achieves the best vision of which he/she is capable. There is growing evidence of the detrimental impact on educational achievement in cases of uncorrected eye problems.The principal reason for providing eye check-ups for young children is to identify those whose visual development is not following normal patterns, those who require correction, or who have, or are at risk of, developing problems.
We recommend check-ups at birth and if all is normal, once a year thereafter.Any parental concerns regarding the child’s vision, ocular health or general development are also taken into account during our regular check-ups. We have the facility and expertise to treat all paediatric eye problems.
