Children’s Eye Care at Lunettes Eyecare

At Lunettes Eyecare, we recognise the vital role vision plays in a child’s development and learning. Our eye examinations assess eye health and vision, ensuring children feel comfortable and at ease throughout the process.

Our optometrists are trained to work with children, using child-friendly techniques and equipment to provide accurate results in a reassuring environment. Whether it’s their first visit or a routine check-up, we strive to make every experience positive, ensuring your child leaves with a smile and healthy vision.

Helping Your Child See Clearly and Confidently with Glasses and Contact Lenses

Finding out that your child needs glasses can be overwhelming for any parent. Rest assured, the right eyewear plays an important role in helping your child feel confident and achieve their best, whether in the classroom, at play, or at home.
‍
At Lunettes Eyecare, our goal is to ensure your child’s comfort and confidence with their eyewear. We offer a wide range of stylish glasses and contact lenses, and we’re here to guide you and your child in choosing the best option for their unique needs.

Contact Lenses for Children

Contact lenses can be a great option for children, offering a discreet and flexible alternative to glasses. While glasses are often the first choice for younger children, contact lenses can be an ideal solution for older children and teens, especially those involved in sports or activities where glasses may be inconvenient.
‍
At Lunettes Eyecare, we guide both you and your child through the process of deciding whether contact lenses are the right choice. Our expert opticians will ensure your child is comfortable with inserting and removing the lenses, as well as caring for them properly. We also provide advice on which type of lenses are most suitable, such as daily disposables for ease and comfort.

Common Vision Problems in Children

Longsightedness

Signs to look out for include squinting when reading, holding books far away, rubbing eyes frequently, or complaining of headaches after close-up tasks.

Shortsightedness

Children with shortsightedness find distant objects blurry. They might sit very close to the TV or struggle to read the whiteboard at school.

Squints

A squint is when one eye looks straight ahead while the other turns in a different direction. This can be constant or happen only sometimes.

If a child struggles to see clearly, they may find it harder to focus in class, keep up with reading and writing, or engage fully in activities. This can lead to difficulty maintaining attention and even delays in reaching educational milestones.

Myopia Management

Myopia, or shortsightedness, is a vision condition where distant objects appear blurry while close objects remain clear. This occurs when the eyeball is too long or the cornea is overly curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of on it.

Colorimetry & Visual Assessment

We can assess how your child processes visual information while reading, helping to identify signs of visual stress. We provide practical advice to help your child navigate any challenges and make the most of their visual potential in school and beyond.
