Facing similar problem? We can help.
Having healthy eyes is essential for any child’s early life, whether it’s for school, recreational activities, or overall development. Starting early with routine eye checkups is the best way to prevent long-term vision problems. At Infocus Opticians, we provide dedicated children’s eyecare services tailored to support your child’s visual health from an early age.
At Infocus Opticians, we understand that your child’s eyesight is one of their most valuable assets. Children today spend more time on screens and less time outdoors, which has led to a rapid increase in cases of myopia (short-sightedness) worldwide. Early detection and proactive care are vital to ensure clear vision and prevent long-term eye health issues.
That’s why our practice specialises in myopia management—a proven, science-backed approach that helps slow down the progression of myopia in children.
Evidence-based results – Clinical research has shown that myopia management treatments can reduce the progression of myopia by up to 60%.
Long-term eye health – Reducing myopia progression lowers the risk of future conditions such as glaucoma, retinal detachment, and macular degeneration.

If your child is of school age, we recommend that they are seen at least once a year. Our qualified optometrists carry out comprehensive NHS eye tests designed specifically for children. These assessments are gentle, non-invasive, and adapted to be engaging for younger patients.

Issues like lazy eye (amblyopia), squint (strabismus), or short-sightedness (myopia) can develop gradually and may go unnoticed without proper screening. That’s why it’s vital to schedule regular eye exams, even if your child shows no obvious symptoms of eye problems.
