Children

Good vision is critical to a child’s early educational, functional, and social development. Parents should be aware that it is essential to address the child’s visual needs as early as possible. Healthy sight can contribute to a healthy start in life.

Essential to childrens eyewear, and all eyewear, are correct prescription interpretation, spectacle frames, spectacle lenses, facial measurements, verification and the fitting of the appliance.

Daniel our dispensing optician can ensure children’s spectacles fit properly, look great and provide the best vision possible, and able to put up with the everyday rough and tumble of everyday life.

Lenses

There are different types of lenses available, and our dispensing optician can guide your choices there. Some children will benefit from thinner lenses, while others will want stronger lenses and well-designed frames that make it safe to play all sorts of sports.

Frames

Our dispensing optician is trained to help you choose a frame that fits well, as well as one that appeals to your child. There is plenty of choice of fun, funky and fashionable frames now. Allow time to browse and choose with your child.

Every child deserves to have glasses that fit well, if your child’s specs aren’t comfy, they won’t want to wear them. The dispensing optician is specially trained to fit spectacles and will be able to adjust the frames for the best fit.

Contact lenses

Our optometrist can also discuss the option of contact lenses for children and teenagers. Young people’s confidence can be closely related to their appearance. If they don't like the way they look in glasses, it can affect their self-esteem. This can have a negative impact on their social life and even their performance at school.

Here are a few of the reasons why contact lenses are a great choice for children and teenagers.

  • Lenses allow them the freedom to run around, take part in sport and play, without glasses getting in the way.

  • They can improve how they feel about their appearance.

  • They are free from the worry of their glasses breaking or being knocked off.
