Is Your Child Too Young for an Eye Exam? Think Again!

If you’ve ever wondered whether your little one is ready for an eye exam - the answer is likely yes! Don’t delay a vision check just because they don’t know their letters, seem too young, or you’re worried they won’t sit still or pay attention.

At Nexus Eyecare, we know that early eye exams are essential, even before children can read or recognise letters.

Many parents ask, “How can you test my child’s eyes if they don’t know the alphabet?”

The good news is, we use several child-friendly, evidence-based methods designed especially for little ones. Vision develops rapidly in the first few years, and untreated problems can affect learning and development.

Your child doesn’t need to know their letters for us to check their vision - and we don’t need them to.

👉 Watch below to see the different ways we assess vision in little ones - no ABCs required!
