What happens in an exam
An eye examination for a child is sometimes different to one designed for an adult, including images rather than letters means it does not matter if you child cannot yet read. Using certain pieces of equipment, such as the retinoscope, in the testing room ensures an accurate prescription is found as well as checking the overall health and development of the eyes.
Children’s spectacles
If a child requires spectacles the government supplies a voucher toward the cost. We believe ALL children should be able to go to school with a modern trendy frame, one they will not be embarrassed to wear. It is vital children are happy with their frames and will wear them. For this reason we have a large range of plastic and metal frames supplied FREE with the voucher. All frames are of modern designs, regularly changed to keep up with current trends; so important to young people.
