Paediatric Vision Care
From learning in class to joining in games, children rely on their vision every day to make sense of the world. Up to 80% of what they learn is processed visually, meaning even minor vision problems can impact school performance, sports, and confidence. At Kaleidovision, our optometrist in Claremont offers gentle, child-friendly vision care that gives your little one the best start in life.
When should your child have an eye test?
- Babies can be checked within the first year
- Children should ideally have their first check-up by age 3
- Pre-schoolers should have a full test before starting school
- School-aged children should be tested every one to two years
Children who show signs of developmental delays, struggling at school or with sports may need an eye test sooner.
