I have been examining children’s eyes for 20 years and at times parents and often the child are unaware that they are having difficulty with their vision. As a child you may think your vision is like everyone else and assume what you see is normal. Placing spectacles on they are often amazed at what they now can see, such as leaves on trees from a distance or clear words on a page or screen.

Having your child’s eyes examined before they go to school is vitally important for them to reach their full potential. Poor vision can affect their ability to learn and play sports.
