CHILDRENS EYECARE
A common question is ‘at what age should I bring my children in for an examination?’ Our answer is ‘any age’.
For children who cannot read or even respond to any question we use a Retinoscope which gives us an objective assessment of the prescription. This tells us whether there is any significant error that needs early correction and in most cases reassures us everything is within normal limits.
As children get older they can match letters on a card to different sized letters we show them. Older still and we can show them pictures of common objects – cars, yachts, aeroplanes and so on.
On top of all that there are other sensitive tests to check both eyes work together and that colour vision is within normal limits.
