Your Child's Eyesight

Good vision during a child's early years (before the age of 12) is vital as visual learning accounts for 80 per cent of the learning process. It plays a crucial role throughout childhood and beyond.

Yet many parents don't understand how vision helps their children develop appropriately. For example in the first several months, a baby can focus only on objects up close. Those objects will be seen in high contrast colours only, such as black, white and red.

Using the eyes as a team is a skill developed early in childhood. At A Hurd Opticians, we provide support for the parents to ensure that the eyes work together, not independently, during the early formative years. Otherwise a lifetime of poor vision or permanently lost vision may result.

Children's Eye Care  
Your Child's Eye Care Needs Covered at A Hurd Opticians

A Hurd Opticians recognise the importance of your child's eyesight and can diagnose any tell-tale signs that your child may be experiencing problems with their vision.

Did you know?

One in five school-age children in Staffordshire has an undiagnosed vision problem that could interfere with their ability to learn.

Did you know?

The Eye care trust recommends that every child aged eight years or younger has an annual eye examination.

Did you know?

Children's eye examinations are free on the NHS up to the age of 16, and under 19 if they are in full-time education.
 

Moving into the preschool and school-age years, parents face a new set of worries:

  1. When should my child have his first eye exam?
  2. What if he requires vision correction?
  3. Will his vision worsen over time, or improve?
  4. What type of eyeglasses should my child wear?
  5. What if he won't wear glasses? can he wear contact lenses?
  6. Will his vision problem affect his learning?
  7. Should I worry about how his computer use is affecting his eyes?

Parents of school-age children should stay informed about vision correction options, such as using contact lenses instead of glasses to control nearsightedness or proper eye protection for recreational play and sports.

At A Hurd Opticians we're here to help answer your questions and provide all the necessary support for your child's visual performance, prescription and vision needs.

Together we can provide the best possible care to your child.
