Children's Eye Examinations
At Patrick Moore Opticians in Crumlin, we know that healthy vision is essential for your child’s development, education, and overall well-being. Regular eye examinations are a vital step in identifying and addressing any vision issues early, ensuring your child can learn, play, and explore the world with confidence. Our friendly, professional team is experienced in working with children and is committed to making their visits both enjoyable and reassuring.
When to Visit the Opticians
The HSE recommends that children have their first eye test around the age of three, or earlier if there are concerns about their vision. Regular check-ups are essential as your child grows, particularly before they start school and throughout their education. Signs your child may need an eye test include:
- Difficulty focusing on tasks or reading.
- Squinting or sitting too close to screens.
- Complaints of headaches or tired eyes.
Our team at Patrick Moore Opticians provides comprehensive eye examinations tailored to children, ensuring their visual needs are met at every stage of their development.
Myopia Management
Myopia (short-sightedness) is increasingly common among children and can progress rapidly if left unmanaged. At Patrick Moore Opticians, we provide advanced myopia management options to slow its progression and protect your child’s long-term eye health. These include:
- Specialised contact lenses: Designed to control myopia while providing clear vision.
- Myopia control glasses: Lenses that help reduce the rate of progression.
- Lifestyle advice: Guidance on managing screen time and encouraging outdoor activities.
Our tailored approach ensures your child receives the best care and protection for their vision.
