Children’s Eye Tests

Are your child’s eyes ready for the classroom?

Healthy vision plays a vital role in your child’s learning, physical development and social confidence. Clear, comfortable vision helps children reach their full potential at school and beyond.

At Rose Optometry in Berry NSW, we provide comprehensive children’s eye examinations in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Did you know that 1 in 5 children has an undetected vision problem? With up to 80% of learning relying on vision, undetected eye problems can impact reading, concentration and confidence at school.

Children’s eyes can change quickly from year to year, which is why regular eye tests are important — especially before starting school.

When should my child have an eye test?

There is no minimum age for an eye test. If you have any concerns, it’s always worth having your child’s vision checked.

We recommend children have their eyes examined:

• Before starting school

• Every 1–2 years during primary school

• Anytime concerns arise

• If there is a family history of vision problems

• Even if your child has no obvious symptoms

Many children don’t realise their vision isn’t normal — they assume everyone sees the same way they do.

Signs your child may need an eye test

• Complaints of blurred vision, headaches or sore eyes

• Delayed reading or learning progress

• Squinting, rubbing eyes or frequent blinking

• A turned eye or wandering eye

• Poor hand-eye coordination

• Losing their place or skipping lines when reading

What happens in a children’s eye test?

Our children’s eye examinations are:

• Gentle and non-invasive

• Age-appropriate and engaging

• Tailored to your child’s attention span

We assess:

• Visual Acuity

• Eye health

• Eye coordination and focusing

• Visual development

Early detection makes a big difference. Most vision problems in children are easy to manage once identified.
