School holidays = the perfect time to book your child's eye test!

Did you know that 80% of a child's learning comes through what they see? Yet children often don't realise when something's not quite right with their vision. They just think everyone sees the world the way they do.

These school holidays, take 30 minutes to make sure their vision isn't holding them back at school.

Our experienced optometrists check everything in a relaxed, kid-friendly environment.

If your child is short-sighted, ask us about Hoya MiYOSMART lenses which are clinically proven technology designed to correct vision and slow myopia progression, so their eyes don't keep getting worse year on year. They look just like regular lenses, so kids are happy to wear them.

Book now before the term rush!

Myopia (short‑sightedness) is when distant things look blurry and it’s becoming increasingly common in kids. The good news? There are ways to help slow it down.

👁️ Give their eyes a break
Kids spend loads of time on books, tablets and computers, but too much close‑up work can speed up myopia. Try the 20/20 rule: take a 20-second break to look across the room after every 20 minutes of screen time or near-work.

🌲 More outdoor time = happier eyes
Just 1 to 2 hours outside each day can help slow myopia progression.

If you’d like to learn more, chat to us about kids’ myopia.
