Children's Eye Tests - Crucial for Learning and Development


In the journey of learning and development, a remarkable 80% hinges on visual perception. That’s why children’s eye tests are pivotal in setting them up for success. Early detection is the key to preventing potential issues impacting reading, comprehension, and overall academic performance.

Regular eye tests offer a proactive approach, identifying concerns before they affect their learning journey. The information gathered during these tests also allows our optometrists to formulate the right eyecare plan, and help your child to find frames that are both comfortable and fitted to their exact needs.

How Clear Vision Impacts Academic and Social Development
