Did you know? Children should have their first eye test around age four—sooner if you notice them squinting, rubbing their eyes a lot, or struggling to see at school.

A simple eye check can spot issues early, helping to support learning, confidence, and happiness.
Plus, children’s NHS eye tests and glasses are free! If you’re unsure when your child last had a check, give us a ring or pop in for a chat. Let’s make sure our young ones are ready to see, learn, and explore.
