We recommend that children have their eyes tested before they start school. Tests suitable for infants and preschoolers who cannot read or recognise letters are available. If you have any concerns about your child’s eyesight at an early age, it’s recommended to consult your local Scrivens’ Opticians. However, if there are no concerns, it’s advisable to wait until your child is around three-and-a-half years old before scheduling a comprehensive eye examination. Even if your child’s vision seems fine, it’s a good idea to have a full eye test by a qualified optician to ensure there are no issues that might impact their early year’s education.
