Kids Eye Test
Children’s eye examinations – ensuring your little one’s eyes develop healthily
We are a Miyosmart Lens and Misight Contact Lens Specialist.
As early adopters of myopia control glasses and contact lenses we have seen the remarkable results in slowing down Myopia in our young clients and how much this enhances their lifestyle and confidence.
If you’re a parent, you probably see your child’s health as more important than your own.
We understand your concern – that’s why we’re specialists in children’s eyecare and the dispensing of children’s glasses.
At what age can my child have their eyes tested?
Ideally as early as possible, although most professional bodies recommend that children should begin eye checks at around the age of two. Following children’s vision care tips can help establish good visual habits early, ensuring their eyes develop healthily and any potential issues are identified promptly.
Having your child’s eyesight assessed at an early age allows good visual habits to be established for their future. Regular eye exams help you spot vision issues early, which is essential for preventing long-term problems.
When bringing your child for an assessment, we explain what to expect in a pediatric eye exam, so you and your little one feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
Following the exam, our optometrists provide practical children’s eye health tips to support healthy vision development and ensure your child’s eyes stay in the best possible condition.

How will my child benefit from an eye examination?
Children can be detrimentally affected by poor vision in several ways.
If they can’t see to read a book or the board in the classroom is blurred, for instance, their education will be impacted. If they cannot see effectively, their hand-eye coordination and depth perception will be poor, meaning sports will be less enjoyable than for other children. This can lead to behavioural issues.
All it takes to solve this problem is a regular children’s eye test. If your child is struggling with their vision, we can help, all in a friendly and welcoming environment.
Are there any tell-tale signs that my child needs their eyes examined?
Your child may require an eye test if:
- They are suffering from regular headaches
- They are having difficulty concentrating , are sitting too close to the TV or hold a book very close when reading
- Blinking or rubbing their eyes often
- Clumsiness
- A turning eye – either in or out, constantly or intermittently
Even if your child doesn’t exhibit any of these symptoms, we recommend having them checked regularly.
Don’t take our word for it…
Here’s what our clients have to say:
From the moment I walked through the door, this was a totally new Perspective! All glasses are of excellent quality, the advice and expertise is friend, kind and helpful. Staff take their time to ensure the selection is just right, including photos in various frames and ordering in a different colour to get just the right pair for you! My eye test was more thorough than others I have had in the past. My new glasses are perfect. This is the complete package from start to finish. Thank you to all the team in Perspective Optometrists! See you soon for contact lenses!
I’ve been meaning to change glasses for some time. I travel often for work, so I visited many opticians, and finally in Perspective Optometrists I found everything I needed. Kind, clear, professional and honest service! I highly recommend them!
We have been coming to this wonderful shop for several years now. My daughter wears glasses since she was 5 years old (and she is 10 now)) and she has been exchanging her glasses quite often. The team has always been very friendly and supportive and she loves coming back. We have also done a contact lens fitting for her her. I have just ordered my new pair of glasses and very pleased with the whole experience and the result. Thank you very much for everything!
The professionalism and friendly care at Perspective Optometrists is second to none. It hits you the moment you walk through the door and applies to all the team there; the attention to detail is a hallmark of the service. Having worked as a medical consultant in the NHS and private practice for over 30 years one learns how to judge the quality of a service. I would recommend them without reservation
I first visited Perspective when they took the time and trouble to source and replace the rim of an expensive pair of frames that I had not originally purchased from them. Whilst waiting for my repair there, they had no issue with me looking at other frames and were happy to offer advice.
The rest, as they say is history… following an in depth and most thorough eye test, I, not the easiest of patients, have two new pairs of glasses and am very happy. The concerns, re the demand of my job, having been listened to and sorted!
They all have plenty of time for you, in this rushed world of ours quite unique, and the coffee is an added bonus! Have already recommended to some very fussy, medic friends of mine!
Walked by the opticians and loved their choice of frames. But more importantly was the quality of care and attention. I was visiting London but in future will plan ahead and come back to get my next glasses… the care to my needs was impeccable – More than happy lovely people. Great professional care.
Perspective Optometrists offer a high quality service. This includes a very thorough eye check-up service using all the latest technological equipment that not only assess your eye-sight but checks the health of your eyes generally. They then offer a comprehensive range of solutions that match your needs with a range of well chosen frames and access to a full range of quality lenses. Their service ensures that the solutions properly fit you and your needs.
I am pleased to recommend the excellent service from this relatively small optician. They are helpful, friendly and efficient. The eye tests they did show how much they care. Above all, my new specs are very good and certainly an improvement of those I had before which I had thought were quite satisfactory. They also gave me good advice on choosing a new frame. Even my wife is impressed!
My whole family has been using Perspective for the last few years and we are delighted with the high quality of professional service and care provided by the team. It is a friendly relaxed environment and they have a fantastic range of frames and products. I am always happy to recommend them to friends and family.
Very good service, highly professional. Recommended.
The personalised service is great and the Perspective Optometrists team truly engage with their customers. I love all my glasses from Perspective and thanks to Rupal and her teams’ style advice I now have glasses that really suit me.
Initially we chose Perspective Optometrists because it was conveniently near our home but since then we have moved to another borough and have chosen to stay with Perspective because of their excellent service.
I had my eyes checked and bought glasses here a while ago and went back again this week because I wanted some new glasses. An unhurried and thorough eye test. No pressure to choose frames, and I’m not good at making up my mind, but they found a great pair that suited me very well. They were ready much faster than initially told.
What eyewear is on offer in your practice?
We value eyewear greatly, which is why we handpick frames which are ideal for children of all ages.
