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 care for the child behind them. While many optometrists will see patients of all ages, our team have dedicated professional development to the unique needs of infants, children, and teenagers (and their families).
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 screenings often miss.
2. A Stress-Free, Fun Environment
We’ve swapped the "clinical" vibe for a space where kids feel 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: We take the time needed to get accurate results, never rushing a child who needs a moment to feel comfortable.
3. We Look Beyond 20/20 Vision
A child 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 your child’s health. With your permission, we communicate directly with:
Teachers to help implement classroom adjustments.
Occupational Therapists & Speech Pathologists to align therapy goals.
GPs, Paediatricians & Ophthalmologists to provide a holistic health record.
