Specialised eye care for growing eyes

Helping children see more than 20/20. From infancy, childhood, and teen years right through to adulthood and their retirement years.

At Kiddies Eye Care, we believe every child deserves to see the world with clarity and confidence. Children’s vision needs are unique and constantly changing. Our clinic is specifically designed to provide a gentle, engaging, and comprehensive experience for infants, toddlers, school-aged children - and their older family members!


Our Services

We offer a full range of paediatric optometry services using the latest diagnostic technology and child-friendly techniques.

1. Comprehensive Children’s Eye Exams

A standard exam isn't always enough. Our thorough consultations check not just how well your child sees, but how well their eyes work together.

  • Assessment of visual acuity (tailored for capability).

  • Eye tracking and coordination checks.

  • Early detection of refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness.

  • Eye health checks to ensure the internal structures of the eye are developing correctly.

2. Myopia Management

With more time spent on screens, myopia (often called short-sightedness, or near-sightedness) is becoming more common in children. We offer treatments proven to slow down the progression of myopia.

  • Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Overnight lenses that reshape the cornea while they sleep.

  • MiSight & Specialized Lenses: Daily disposables or glasses designed specifically for myopia control.

  • Atropine Therapy: Medicated drops used to slow eye growth.

3. Neurovisual Treatments

Vision is more than just "20/20" sight; it is a complex process involving the brain. Our neuro-visual protocols helps adults and children whose visual systems have been impacted by neurological factors, including concussion.

  • Concussion & TBI Recovery: Managing "post-concussion vision syndrome," including light sensitivity and dizziness.

  • Developmental Support: Assisting children with Autism, ADHD, or Cerebral Palsy who experience visual processing challenges.

  • Brain-Eye Retraining: Using specialized prisms and exercises to improve how the brain interprets visual signals.

4. Vision Therapy

Often described as "physical therapy for the eyes," we help children who struggle with the mechanics of vision that impact learning.

  • Eye Teaming & Tracking: Essential for reading without skipping lines.

  • Focusing Skills: Helping children switch focus quickly between the whiteboard and their desk.

  • Hand-Eye Coordination: Improving confidence in sports and fine motor tasks like writing.

5. Kid-Friendly Eyewear & Contact Lenses

Our boutique selection of frames is curated specifically for kids—durable, flexible, and stylish enough that they’ll actually want to wear them.

  • Durable frames for active toddlers.

  • Sports goggles for young athletes.

  • Contact lens fitting and training for teens.
