When should my child's eyes be examined?
If you’re wondering when to start getting your child’s eyes checked, do make sure that they are seen as a toddler, well before they start school. Some eye conditions can be treated more effectively if they are discovered by the age of 3
Numerous reports of a misinformation movement that glasses, sunglasses are harmful. Anti-glasses quackery has been around for over a century, so nothing new, but the potential harm to children, road users & the visually impaired still profound. Let’s stop this now! 👓 👀
How do I choose a good pair of sunglasses?
Sunglasses need to fit your face well in order to be effective at stopping UV light, so make sure that you get advice when choosing and ask about standards in your country. Speak to a dispensing optician for advice
UV affects us all, not just the adults. So next time the adults put on sunglasses make sure your little ones are too or at the very least, a good hat that provides great shade, especially for the little ones, or avoid the sun for babies and small kids. #SunAwarenessWeek
Do my children need to wear sunglasses too?
Children need to protect their eyes from UV just as much as adults do. Very small children and babies should not be in the sun at all. #SunAwarenessWeek
Is my child likely to inherit my need for glasses?
Some eye care conditions can be inherited such as myopia, glaucoma and cataract. If you are worried about your child’s eyesight that book an appointment with your optician straight away.
