The Kiddies Way
Find out what makes us different, and why so many families trust us for their ocular and visual health.
At Kiddies Eye Care, we don’t just test eyes; we provide care that grows with you. The Kiddies team treats everyone from newborns to retirees. Our difference is that we understand how vision develops at every stage of life, allowing us to provide a level of continuity and care that you simply can't find elsewhere. For our youngest patients, understanding how a child’s vision links to their learning, movement, and brain development is what sets us apart.
The Kiddies Eye Care Difference
1. Paediatric Interest & Experience
Children aren't just "small adults." Their visual systems are rapidly developing. Our clinical team has a special interest in paediatric, behavioural, and neuro-visual optometry giving us the expertise to spot subtle developmental issues that general vision appointments often miss.
At Kiddies Eye Care, we don't just treat eyes; we manage visual development. While our name highlights our paediatric interest—starting with newborns—our true difference is that we are a lifelong vision partner. We follow our patients through every developmental milestone, from their first steps to their first board meeting, ensuring their vision never becomes a hurdle to their potential, no matter their age.
2. A Stress-Free, Fun Environment
We’ve swapped the "clinical" vibe for a space where everyone feels safe.
No "Puff of Air" Tests: We use gentle, child-friendly diagnostic tools.
Engagement-First Exams: We use toys, videos, and games to keep your child engaged while we assess their visual function.
Patient Pacing: For adults and kids, we take the time needed to get accurate results, never rushing a patient who needs a moment to feel comfortable.
3. We Look Beyond 20/20 Vision
Patients can have "perfect" eyesight but still struggle to read or catch a ball. We dive deeper into the brain-eye connection, assessing:
Visual Processing: How the brain interprets what the eyes see.
Binocular Vision: How well the eyes work together as a team.
Neuro-Visual Focus: Support for children with neurological conditions or sensory processing needs.
4. Collaborative Care Approach
We believe in a "village" approach to healthcare - especially for children. With your permission, we communicate with:
Teachers to help implement classroom adjustments.
Occupational Therapists & Speech Pathologists to align therapy goals.
GPs, Paediatricians & Ophthalmologists to provide a holistic health record.
