Early Detection and Routine Eye Tests
One of the most crucial steps in maintaining healthy eyes in children is for them to have regular check-ups to assess their vision. Our paediatric eyecare services include:
- Visual Screening: Regular check-ups include visual screening to detect common issues such as nearsightedness or astigmatism.
- Development Eye Health Checks: Some eye health issues may affect your child’s cognitive development, such as amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus (crossed eyes).
- Prescription Glasses: Through our thorough eye assessments, we can provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend suitable glasses for your child.

Specialised Eyecare for Children
Our services go beyond routine eye examinations. We also offer more technical assessments for the detection of more specialised needs. These include:
- Myopia Management: Myopia refers to near/short-sightedness. Our myopia management service implements strategies to slow its progression with advanced lenses and lifestyle guidance.
- Digital Eye Strain Solutions: We can offer tips and advice on ways to reduce strain caused by prolonged exposure to screens, such as blue light blocking glasses and lenses.
- Vision Therapy: We are experts in providing exercises and treatments to improve coordination, focus, and any other vision skills that are crucial for everyday life, such as school and sports.
