Paediatric Optometrist Canberra - Taking Care of Children's Vision

One of the most important things in a child's development is their vision. At Unique Optical we recommended that children have annual eye examinations throughout the school years. A regular eye exam is all it takes to detect and treat commonly occurring vision problems in children. Our paediatric optometrist Canberra is an expert in children's vision and conducts comprehensive eye examinations,  appropriate for the age of each child, to ensure the visual system is developing at an age-appropriate level. 

Some of the symptoms of vision that is not perfect may include signs listed below:

• Frequent blinking or squinting of eyes 
• Frequent rubbing of the eyes 
• Difficulty reading or holds the book too close when trying to read 
• Short attention span when doing close work 
• Complains of blurred vision or headaches 
• Slow, untidy writing or copying with mistakes 
• Fatigues easily 
• Poor eye-hand coordination 
• Tilting of the head 
• Excessive tearing 
• Not being able to see the board clearly 

We have a special interest in children's vision and work with parents to advise on suitable treatment with spectacles or eye exercises that can have great results both at school and at home. Give your child the best possible start and book an appointment with your Optometrist today.
