Realeyes is urging parents to get their children’s eye examined as a priority.

Good eyesight is crucial in making sure a child develops to their full potential both at school and socially.  It’s especially important to look after children’s eyes – the eye is still developing throughout early childhood so if problems are treated early, it can make a lasting difference.

It’s natural that every parent will have burning questions about their children’s eyes. In launching the ABSee campaign the Association of Optometrists is encouraging all children to visit their local optician and have an eye examination. They have put together a leaflet answering some questions that parents may have and our optometrists will be happy to answer the rest.

Children as young as three years old visit Realeyes Opticians to have an eye examination and we can carry out an examination using pictures if they are unable to read. Most children think what they can see is normal and it might not be so it’s always a good idea to have their eyes examined regularly from a young age. The test is painless and we’ll talk you through the results. Our optometrists often comment on how parents wish they’d brought in a child sooner to have their eyes examined.
