Our paediatric eye examination service is tailored to children’s unique eye care needs. We perform specialized tests to detect common childhood vision problems such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, and refractive errors, helping ensure your child’s visual development is on track.
Your child’s vision plays a crucial role in their learning, development, and daily life. From reading and writing to playing and socializing, healthy eyes are essential. Yet many vision problems in children go undetected because kids may not realize something is wrong — or may not know how to express it.
At Leadway Eye Clinic, we specialize in pediatric eye examinations that are thorough, child-friendly, and tailored to every stage of development. Early detection can prevent long-term vision issues and support your child’s success — both in school and in life.
Children can experience a range of vision and eye health issues. During a pediatric eye exam, we check for conditions such as:
Refractive Errors
•Myopia (Nearsightedness).
•Hyperopia (Farsightedness).
•Astigmatism.
These affect how clearly your child sees objects at various distances.
Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)
Occurs when one eye develops differently from the other, often without noticeable symptoms. Treatable if caught early.
Strabismus (Crossed or Misaligned Eyes)
A condition where the eyes do not align properly. Can lead to double vision or poor depth perception.
Eye Coordination and Tracking Issues
Important for reading and following movement. Children with these problems may struggle in school.
Vision-Related Learning Difficulties
Vision problems can sometimes mimic or contribute to learning disorders. An eye exam helps rule out or address these issues.
We recommend the following schedule:
•First eye exam: At 6 months old.
•Second exam: At 3 years old.
•After that: Every 1–2 years, or as advised by the eye doctor.
If your child wears glasses or has an existing eye condition, more frequent checkups may be necessary.
Even if your child doesn’t complain, look out for these signs:
•Frequent squinting or blinking.
•Sitting too close to the TV or holding books very near.
•Complaints of headaches or eye strain.
•Tilting their head or covering one eye.
•Trouble focusing or maintaining eye contact.
•Poor performance in school or sports.
•Sensitivity to light or excessive tearing.
If you notice any of these, it’s time to book an exam.
Our pediatric eye exams are:
•Non-invasive.
•Gentle and child-friendly.
•Conducted with advanced equipment.
•Tailored to your child’s age and development.
Our friendly team knows how to work with children — making the experience comfortable and even fun! We take time to explain every step to both child and parent, ensuring you feel confident in your child’s care.
Many vision problems can be corrected completely if treated early. The sooner we detect a problem, the easier it is to manage. A short visit today can make a lifelong difference in your child’s visual development, academic performance, and confidence.
Give your child the best start in life with healthy, clear vision. At Leadway Eye Clinic, we’re here to support their growth every step of the way.
