Children’s Eye Care

At what age should my child have their first eye test?

We recommend a first eye test at age 3-4, before starting school. After that, annual tests are ideal for school-age children. If you notice any signs of vision problems — such as squinting or sitting very close to the TV — book an appointment right away regardless of age.

0 0 0

How do I know if my child has a vision problem?

Common signs include squinting, sitting very close to screens or books, frequent headaches, eye rubbing, difficulty reading, or struggling at school. However, many children with vision problems show no obvious symptoms — which is why regular eye tests are so important.

0 0 0

Do we need a referral to visit Ottico Eyecare?

No referral is needed. You can book directly by calling us, using our online booking form, or messaging us on WhatsApp. We welcome new patients of all ages.

Can children wear contact lenses?

Yes — some older children and teenagers can wear contact lenses successfully. We typically consider this from around age 12–14 onwards, depending on the child's maturity and ability to follow hygiene routines. Book a contact lens consultation at Ottico to discuss this.
