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.

Why Choose Eyes by Design for Your Child

Specialised training: Our optometrists have experience in assessing children of all ages, including those with complex needs.
Gentle, child-centred approach: We take the time to make your child feel safe and comfortable
Advanced technology: Tools such as digital retinal imaging, vision therapy programs, and tracking assessments help us detect and manage conditions early.
Collaboration with other professionals: We work closely with GPs, paediatricians, occupational therapists, and teachers to support your child’s overall development

Consequences of Untreated Vision Problems

When children’s vision issues go undetected, they can face:

Developmental delays
Learning difficulties
Potential vision impairment
Reduced confidence
Social isolation

Early detection and treatment can make all the difference.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked an appointment here not knowing what to expect after reading about behavioral optometry. Upon meeting Dr Nick I felt at ease and he was extremely validating accommodating. I have adhd and anxiety and he made me feel comfortable and even went the further steps to fully explain in detail the processes and technologies he uses. This was such a positive experience for me and he and Raymond have been nothing short of understanding and accommodating with me. After the appointment Raymond was so extremely nice helping me choose frames and answering my questions. The ongoing support has also been amazing. I would recommend eyes by design to everyone but especially to neurodivergent people. Thankyou so much ☺️

I had a couple of questions once I got home and it was bother at all to call him and ask and get clear answers. I fee confident in the care I received for my child at Eyes by Design

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Eyes by Design Kincumber highly enough! The service here is always outstanding, and Nick’s knowledge and attention to detail are second to none. Even after moving interstate three years ago, I still make the trip back because no one else gets it right like Nick does. The care taken to ensure glasses and contacts fit perfectly makes all the difference—you always walk away with the best possible comfort and vision. If you’re looking for glasses, contacts, or any optical needs, this is the only place I recommend. Truly exceptional service every time!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Nick is so welcoming, he makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk into the practice. There was no rush, no upsell, lots of knowledge and explaining without being overloaded. I was treated as a person not a number, all professionalism and kindness, even down to choosing frames. The team at Eyes By Design know their stuff and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Dr Nick to anyone.
