Nurturing Clear Vision and Healthy Eyes for Kids

Why Paediatric Eye Care Matters

Children’s eyes are constantly developing, and even small vision problems can have a big impact on learning, confidence, and behaviour. Unlike adults, children don’t always realise they can’t see clearly, they assume what they see is “normal.” That’s why regular, specialised paediatric eye care is essential.
At Eyes by Design, we offer paediatric optometry services tailored to the needs of children under the age of three.

Conditions We Assess & Manage

Our paediatric optometry care covers a wide range of conditions, including:

Amblyopia (lazy eye): reduced vision in one eye that needs early intervention
Strabismus (turned eye/squint): misalignment of the eyes, which may require glasses, therapy, or referral for surgical input
Sight problems (Refractive errors): myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), astigmatism
Developmental and learning-related vision problems: difficulty with eye teaming, focusing, or visual processing that can impact reading and school performance
Special needs and neurodiverse children: tailored approaches for children with autism, ADHD, or developmental delays
Post-trauma or concussion vision care: managing vision changes after head injuries.
