☀️ Summer is the perfect time to book your child’s eye test — before the back-to-school rush begins! 👓📚

Good vision plays a vital role in your child’s learning, development, and confidence both in and out of the classroom. Many vision issues can go unnoticed, especially in younger children who may not realise they’re struggling to see clearly. That’s why regular sight tests are so important — even if there are no obvious symptoms.

We offer thorough, child-friendly eye exams in a relaxed environment to help make the experience as stress-free (and even fun!) as possible.

Let’s make sure your child is seeing their best, ready to make the most of both summer adventures and the new school year ahead!

To make an appointment just give us a call, we would love to see you! 🤓
