eye examinations
When was the last time your child had his or her eyes checked? Considering it is estimated that 50% of the population will be short-sighted by 2050, annual eye examinations are crucial in monitoring and guiding your child’s vision.
At Kiddies Eye Care our goal is to help children achieve the clearest possible vision and vision perception, for success in learning and life. The first step to making this happen is a standard eye examination in which we will be able to assess their vision, sight as well as other important characteristics such as eye movement, structure vision processing and visual guidance.
Most importantly, our examinations are done in a fun, safe and secure environment where we ensure your child feels comfortable to perform at their best.
INITIAL CONSULTATIONS
Your first consultation with us will go for up to an hour and include a full family and personal history as well as a discussion regarding your present concerns or issues. We will then perform a comprehensive eye examination, including a number of tests which will assist us to ascertain your or your child’s sight, vision and ability to perceive what they are seeing. Within the consultation, we will also discuss a plan for both until your next review appointment and further on into the future. If required, we will also take the time to discuss options in regards to lens choices and add-ons which are tailored according to your very own needs.
At Kiddies Eye Care, we also offer the option of a full Behavioural Examination for your first consultation.

For some, review appointments will occur within three months of spectacle collection to ensure that your prescription is correct within the warranty period whilst for others, this consultation will be a routine annual check up to monitor their vision and visual development. Review appointments and recalls will be discussed within your initial and previous review consultations and consist of a series of tests tailored to your visual needs.
