Children’s Eyecare

At Croft and Graves Optometrists we are passionate about your child’s vision and we aim to make their annual eye examination something they look forward to and enjoy. Helping them to build great eye care habits right from the start!

Statistics show that up to a million children in the UK will return to school this year with an undiagnosed vision problem. Children may not realise that their vision is impaired or be able to articulate what is wrong, which can make it difficult for parents and teachers to identify problems. With up to 80% of your child’s learning absorbed through their eyes, poor eyesight can be incredibly detrimental to their education.

The earlier problems are identified, the better the outcome, and many common childhood eye conditions – such as lazy eye or squint – can be easily treated when detected in the early stages.

You can prioritise your children’s vision by booking them an eye examination either online or giving us a call on 01434 632289

Children’s Glasses

Persuading your child to wear glasses may seem like a challenge, but our reassuring dispensing opticians will make certain your child leaves wearing their spectacles with confidence whatever their age.

Children’s glasses are not simply adult glasses in miniature – they are specifically designed to fit children’s distinct facial features and to cope with their active runabout lifestyles. We stock a wide range of NHS and designer children’s frames featuring spring hinges and adjustable nose pads, and all our children’s sunglasses offer 100% UV protection.
