Childrens Eyecare

We welcome children of all ages to our practices. Children up to the age of 12 may be entitled to have their eyes tested under the HSE clinic schemes and we welcome prescriptions from local health centres and hospital eye departments. As the wait time in the HSE system can be long we also welcome children to be examined by our team of optometrists all of whom enjoy dealing with our younger patients.

We stock an extensive range of specialised testing equipment for children and we tailor the eye examination to suit their age / ability. Both practices stock specialised collections of frames for children – if we do not have the correct fitting frame in practice we will order in as required. We believe that it is extremely important that a frame for a child is fitted by a trained optician as poorly fitted frames and lenses can result in damage to a childs normal facial development.

Our prices are extremely competitive but in the longer term it is often worth spending a little more to get the RIGHT frame rather than any frame. Please contact us if you have any queries or would like to make a frame fitting / eye exam appointment.
