A child eye exam is an essential part of your child's overall health and development. At Gardens Optometry, we recommend that children have their first comprehensive eye examination at the age of three, and subsequently at regular intervals to ensure their vision is developing correctly.

During the exam, our experienced optometrists will assess your child's eyesight and eye health using a variety of methods tailored to their age and ability. This may include vision tests, pupil evaluation, and eye coordination assessments. Early detection of issues such as refractive errors, amblyopia, or strabismus can significantly contribute to better long-term visual outcomes.

In addition to assessing vision, we will also take the time to discuss your child's specific needs, including their performance in school and activities they enjoy. If necessary, we can provide guidance on suitable eyewear options that blend style and quality to enhance their visual experience.

Regular eye exams are crucial not only for recognising potential problems but also for fostering a lifetime of healthy vision. At Gardens Optometry, we are dedicated to providing high-quality eyecare tailored to the needs of our younger patients and their families in the Albury Wodonga community.
