Why Should Your Child Have an Eye Test?

Regular eye tests are essential for your child’s social and educational development. Vision problems can often go unnoticed, but they may affect how your child learns, plays, and interacts with the world around them. By identifying any issues early, we can provide the right solutions to ensure they don’t miss out on achieving their full potential. The NHS provides free eye tests for children, making it easy to prioritise their eyecare.

What if My Child Needs Glasses?

If your child requires glasses, don’t worry—we make the experience enjoyable! At Cotham Opticians, we stock a fantastic range of fun, durable frames (link to eyewear page) designed specifically for children. Our friendly team is experienced in fitting glasses for young patients, ensuring they’re comfortable, stylish, and suited to your child’s lifestyle. We’ll help them feel excited about wearing their new glasses, boosting their confidence and encouraging regular use.

Contact Lenses for Children

Contact lenses can be a great choice for children, offering freedom and convenience for sports and active lifestyles. At Cotham Opticians, we provide a variety of contact lens options tailored for young wearers, including soft lenses and Ortho-K lenses. These innovative lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the eye, correcting vision during the day and helping to manage myopia progression. Our experienced optometrists will guide you and your child through the fitting and care process, ensuring they’re comfortable and confident with their lenses.
