Children's Eye Care

Children’s eye health is vital for their growth, learning, and overall development. We offer specialised kids’ eye tests to identify vision issues such as short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness, lazy eye (amblyopia), and more. Early detection is crucial for providing effective treatment and ensuring your child’s vision supports their daily activities and schoolwork.

Choosing the right glasses for children is just as important. Our selection of kids’ frames is designed with durability, flexibility, and comfort in mind—perfect for active lifestyles. Our experienced team ensures every frame fits well and suits your child’s needs.

Myopia Control

Myopia, or short-sightedness typically occurs when the eyeball grows too quickly in childhood. Myopia can rapidly worsen, particularly in younger children, because their eyes are growing at a faster rate. The prevalence and severity of myopia is growing, it’s expected to affect more than 50% of the world’s population by 2050.

Myopia causes blurry vision and usually requires glasses or contact lenses to see details, for instance on a whiteboard or the TV. As myopia increases so does the reliance on vision correction for everyday activities and there is also an increased risk to future eye health.

At Paul Connolly’s Opticians we offer both contact lens and spectacle lenses for myopia control. Call into practice to get more details. If you want more information on myopia, visit the My Kids Vision website.
