If you’re looking for excellent children’s eye care in Ashton-in-Makerfield, we’re here to help. Children’s eye care is especially important so we provide a considered approach for everything from examinations to eyewear. Each age group has its own set of requirements and we make sure that all our equipment and testing are tailored to fit children and teens of different ages.
Children need to have their eyes regularly examined from a young age to keep track of their visual development and look out for any problems with their eyes. Early diagnosis of vision loss or eye conditions can improve how effectively they can be managed or treated. We are proud to offer eye examinations designed specifically for children of different age groups that are intended to be fun and interactive.
Our examinations are free through the NHS for children under 16 and teenagers under 19 in full-time education. Get in touch today and schedule your child’s free eye examination.
Our glasses for children are designed with their needs in mind. We make sure all our frames are durable and flexible to ensure they last for even the most adventurous kids. Our selection also includes a wide variety of styles for every look and personality with colourful, minimalistic and fashionable options. Most importantly, we make sure children’s glasses provide clear and comfortable vision so they can enjoy everything from reading to sports without sacrificing their eyesight.
Myopia (short-sightedness) is becoming increasingly common, particularly in children, and can progress as they grow. At Makerfield Eye Centre, we offer specialised myopia management solutions designed not only to correct vision but also to help slow the progression of myopia over time. Our experienced clinicians assess each patient carefully and recommend personalised treatment options such as specially designed myopia-control contact lenses. By managing myopia early, we aim to protect long-term eye health and reduce the risk of future eye conditions associated with high myopia. Our team works closely with families to monitor changes in vision and provide ongoing care to ensure the best possible outcomes.
