Children’s eye health and safety​
Eye tests for under 16’s are funded by the NHS. You should take your child for an eye test if you have any concerns about their eyesight, for example if you notice squinting, frequent headaches or screwing their eyes up while watching TV. https://lookafteryoureyes.org/eye-care/childrens-eye-health/

From birth to 18 (while in full time education), the NHS provides free eye tests to ensure that any issues are picked up quickly and treated appropriately. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/eye-tests-in-children/

Read about the routine eye checks that newborn babies have and eye tests for children. Eye checks are important because they allow any problems to be identified early on in a child's development.
