Regular children's eye tests are important to support your child's development, learning and confidence in everyday life.
Regular children’s eye tests are an important part of supporting your child’s development, learning and everyday confidence. At Richard Fantom Eyecare, we offer comprehensive eye examinations tailored to your child, with everything gently explained in a calm and friendly environment.
Children are entitled to NHS eye tests, meaning their sight test is free of charge. If glasses are required, there may also be NHS support available towards the cost. Our team is happy to guide you through what your child is entitled to.
Children do not always realise when their vision is unclear. They may assume everyone sees the same way they do, which means problems can go unnoticed. An eye test can identify issues early, helping to prevent difficulties with reading, concentration and schoolwork.
Our optometrists use simple methods with a friendly and calming manner to check how well your child can see and to examine the health of their eyes. Our kids’ eye test appointments are relaxed and unhurried, with everything explained clearly to both you and your child.
Our local opticians for children may assess how the eyes work together, how they focus, and whether glasses are needed to support clear, comfortable vision.
It is recommended that children have regular eye tests from a young age, even if they have not complained about their sight. Early testing helps to ensure their vision is developing as it should and allows any concerns to be addressed quickly. At Richard Fantom Eyecare, our experienced team provides specialist eye examinations for children, so your child’s vision can be checked from an early age. If they need a little extra support, we offer a wide range of children’s glasses in Warwickshire.
If you would like to book a children’s eye test in Warwickshire, our friendly team is here to help. We aim to make every visit comfortable and reassuring for both you and your child.
Getting started is simple. Book an appointment with our opticians in Bidford-on-Avon for a full eye examination or any of our other eye care services, at a time that suits you.
Before you visit, you'll know exactly what to expect. We're always upfront about any costs involved before you book, so there are no surprises on the day.
Visit our practice in Warwickshire for a thorough, personalised eye examination. Every routine test includes advanced imaging such as OCT and Optomap scans, giving our opticians detailed insight into your eye health, not just a snapshot, so we can offer clear, confident advice tailored specifically to you.
Our opticians take the time to talk you through your results in plain terms, explaining what they mean for your vision and eye health. Whether that's a change to your prescription, guidance on managing a condition, or simple reassurance, the advice is built around you.
Once your glasses or contact lenses are ready, we'll get in touch to arrange a collection time that works for you. When you come in, our opticians will make sure everything fits comfortably and correctly, adjusting your frames on the spot if needed.
You may be eligible for an NHS contribution if you certain criteria apply to you. A full list can be found here.
The NHS sets minimum intervals between eye tests for those eligible, and intervals vary depending on which criteria apply to you.
If you qualify for NHS eye tests and eye care, book an appointment with Richard Fantom Eyecare. Don't qualify? Don't worry, we offer private eye tests too.
