Children’s Eyecare
Good vision is vital for a child’s learning, development and confidence, affecting everything from reading and schoolwork to sports and social interactions. At Sanders Opticians, we provide comprehensive children’s eye exams from any age, helping to make sure their little eyes are healthy and developing correctly. Our appointments typically last around 30 minutes, giving our optometrists plenty of time to assess vision, eye health and visual skills in a friendly, relaxed environment.
Importance of early detection and eyecare in childrens
Early detection of eye problems is crucial in children as vision can affect school performance, coordination and self-esteem. Undiagnosed vision problems can make reading and concentrating difficult, affect participation in sports and activities, and even impact a child’s confidence and self-esteem.
Regular eye examinations allow us to identify potential concerns before they impact everyday life. Even if a child seems to see well, issues can still exist that may go unnoticed without professional assessment.
Sign of early problems and treatment options
Children often assume that what they see is normal, so they may not realise they have a vision problem. Parents should look out for common signs of vision issues, such as squinting, sitting too close to screens, frequent eye rubbing, headaches, or complaints of blurred vision.
If detected, our team can recommend the appropriate course of action, whether that involves glasses, lifestyle changes, or, for older children who understand the importance of hygiene, contact lenses. We also offer specialist lenses such as MiSight, Stellest and MyoCare for myopia management, helping short-sighted children to see clearly and slow the progression of the condition. Our approach is always tailored to each child’s needs, ensuring comfort, safety and effectiveness.
