Modern research suggests that one in five school children have an undetected eye problem. A child's vision is fully developed by the age of 8, and without early diagnosis and treatment vision defects such as "squints" or "lazy eyes" can become permanent disabilities.
Typical warning signs are:
ü Excessive blinking
ü Squinting or screwing up the eyes to see
ü Peering closely at books and TV
ü Clumsiness
ü Poor performance at school
ü Reluctance in reading
ü Headaches
Children lead very active lives, and therefore spectacles must be comfortable and safe to wear. To this end all of our children's spectacles are supplied with Plastic lenses. Plastic lenses are lighter that tradition glass lenses and more importantly are much more resistant to breakage. This combination provides lightweight & safe spectacles
Contact Lens Practitioner has often prescribed for children of 10 years and above. The main criteria is to ensure that both children and parents are aware of the high level of care required to maintain contact lenses so that they are safe and comfortable to wear.
