Advanced Eye Care for Children
Healthy vision is essential for a child’s learning, development and everyday life. At Burrows and Wozencroft, we provide thorough eye examinations and personalised care to support your child’s visual health from a young age.
Importance of Early Detection
Early detection of problems with vision allows for timely treatment, helping children see clearly and comfortably at school, at play and at home.
We recommend that children have their first eye examination from around age 5, or earlier if you have concerns. Check-ups help identify issues that could affect learning, coordination or confidence. Children’s eyes can change quickly as they grow, and spotting potential problems early ensures they receive the right support and treatment.
Signs of Early Vision Problems
Children often don’t always realise that something is wrong with their vision because they simply assume that what they see is how everyone sees. Some signs that they may have vision problems include squinting, sitting close to the TV or computer, frequently rubbing their eyes and even poor coordination and clumsiness.
Our children’s eye exams typically last around 25 minutes, giving our opticians time to carry out a complete assessment and discuss the results with you and your child. The tests are designed to be child-friendly and engaging, helping your little one feel comfortable throughout the appointment.

Regular check-ups also establish a routine, so children become comfortable with eye care and understand the importance of looking after their vision.
Taking care of your child’s eyes early sets them up for a lifetime of healthy vision. Request an appointment today and give your child the best start in protecting their vision for the future.
