Children's eye examinations
Helping children see clearly and thrive.
At Globe Opticians, we are proud to care for children of all ages in a friendly and welcoming environment. As a family-run practice, we understand the importance of making both children and parents feel comfortable and supported throughout their visit.
Whether it is your child's first eye examination or a routine check-up, our experienced team is here to provide expert advice and personalised care.
Eye tests for kids
Children do not always realise when their vision is changing, which is why regular eye examinations are so important.
A child's eyes can develop quickly, and some vision problems may not be obvious at home or in the classroom. Regular eye examinations allow us to monitor your child's vision and eye health, helping to identify any issues as early as possible.
During the appointment, we will assess your child's vision, check how their eyes are working together and examine their overall eye health. We take the time to explain everything clearly and ensure the experience is relaxed and enjoyable.
Our team is experienced in working with children and will always adapt the examinationto suit their age and needs.
Managing myopia in children
Myopia, also known as short-sightedness, is becoming increasingly common in children. It can cause distant objects to appear blurry and often progresses as a child grows.
At Globe Opticians, myopia management has become an important part of the care we provide to local families. We offer a range of treatment options designed to help slow the progression of myopia and support long-term eye health.
Myopia management contact lenses
We provide specialist contact lens options, including MiSight® 1 day contact lenses, which are specifically designed for children with myopia.
These lenses provide clear vision while helping to slow the progression of short-sightedness, making them a popular choice for many families.
Myopia management spectacle lenses
For children who prefer wearing glasses, we also offer specialist spectacle lenses designed to help manage myopia progression.
Our team will discuss the available options and recommend the most suitable solution based on your child's age, prescription and lifestyle.
If you have concerns about your child's vision or family history of myopia, we would be happy to discuss how myopia management may help.
Children's eyewear
Finding the right glasses for a child is about more than just clear vision. Glasses need to be comfortable, durable and suitable for everyday life.
We offer a range of children's frames designed to withstand the demands of school, sports and play while helping children feel confident in their appearance.
Our team will help your child choose frames that fit properly, feel comfortable and suit their personality. We understand that every child is different, and we take the time to find eyewear that works for both children and parents.
