Children's Eye
Tests

At Ascot Vale Eyecare, our Optometrists Simone and Rob understand how vital good vision is for a child's learning, development and confidence. That’s why we offer comprehensive eye tests and treat vision issues early—giving your child the best start in life. Eye tests should be an enjoyable experience for children and parents/carers and we strive to make the appointment as stress free as possible.

When should my Child start having eye tests?

Rob and Simone Recommend:​

​

  • First check by age 3 

  • Before starting school

  • Every 1–2 years during school, more often if advised

  • If there is a known family history of eye conditions or glasses then start earlier rather than later and monitor regularly​

 

Early testing means support—and often, simpler treatment.
