Pediatric clinical guidance
When should you consider an eye examination for your child?
Children may not realise that their vision is different. A timely examination can identify concerns early and help protect comfortable vision, learning and development.
01Squinting or tilting the head to focus
Repeated squinting, chin-up posture or a consistent head turn can be a child's way of finding a clearer view.
Clinical next step: comprehensive pediatric eye assessment02Sitting very close to screens or books
Moving unusually close to reading material or screens can sometimes indicate difficulty seeing clearly at a normal distance.
03Frequent rubbing, blinking or eye strain
Ongoing rubbing, excessive blinking, watering or tired eyes deserves attention, particularly when it recurs.
04Headaches or avoiding schoolwork
Headaches after reading, losing place on a page or avoiding near work may be linked to a vision concern.
05Closing one eye in sunlight or photographs
Regularly closing one eye in bright light or when concentrating can be associated with an eye-alignment problem.
06Difficulty seeing the classroom board
Copying incorrectly, losing attention during distance tasks or repeatedly asking to move closer may point to unclear distance vision.
07Eyes that appear to point in different directions
An eye that turns inward, outward, upward or downward—even if it happens only sometimes—should be examined by an eye specialist.

Treatment options
Our pediatric eye care & treatment options
From vision testing and glasses to lazy eye and squint care, every treatment is planned around your child's age, eye findings and comfort.
Vision Testing & Glasses
Careful refraction finds short-sight, long-sight or astigmatism, with glasses prescribed to support clear, comfortable vision at school and play.
- Age-appropriate vision testing
- Accurate glasses prescription
- Regular reviews as eyes grow
Amblyopia Treatment
When one eye has not developed clear vision, treatment such as glasses and patching helps the weaker eye and brain learn to work together.
- Early detection and monitoring

- Progress checks at each visit
Squint (Strabismus) Care
Detailed eye-alignment assessment, with non-surgical options or squint surgery by our pediatric ophthalmologist and squint surgeon where needed.

Examination and management of eye conditions present from birth or early childhood, with a clear plan and follow-up explained to parents.
- Detailed eye examination
- Clear explanation for parents
- Planned follow-up care
The right treatment depends on your child's age, eye findings and response to care. Your doctor will explain the recommended plan, expected benefits and follow-up.

FAQs
Clear answers to your questions
Helpful guidance for parents about children's eye checks, glasses, lazy eye, squint and what to expect from your child's visit.
We recommend a comprehensive eye check before your child starts school — or earlier if you notice warning signs such as squinting, frequent eye rubbing, an eye that turns, or difficulty seeing the board.
Yes. Young children are tested with picture-based charts, shapes and simple play-based activities. Each part of the examination is adapted to your child's age and comfort.
Dilating drops are often used in children to check the true glasses power and to examine the back of the eye. They can cause temporary blurred near vision and light sensitivity for a few hours. The doctor will explain whether drops are needed for your child.
A squint or lazy eye should not be left to see whether it improves. Some treatments work best during early childhood, so an eye turn — even one that appears only occasionally — should be assessed by an eye specialist.
Not always. Depending on the type of squint, glasses, patching or other treatment may be tried first. If surgery is recommended, it is planned and performed by our pediatric ophthalmologist and squint surgeon.
This depends on your child's age, eye findings and any glasses prescription. Children who wear glasses usually need regular reviews as their eyes grow. Your doctor will advise a suitable follow-up interval.
Please bring your child's current glasses, any previous eye reports or prescriptions, and your insurance details if applicable. A favourite toy or snack can help younger children feel comfortable.
