Children's eye care
A full eye exam is covered yearly by MSP for children 18 and under, with no extra fees on top. There is no reason to wait.
Young children rarely report vision problems. We check for a lazy eye, an eye turn, focusing and tracking issues, and early nearsightedness, often before anyone notices.
We make the exam comfortable for young patients and take the time to clearly explain everything to you as a parent.
Slowing nearsightedness
Our myopia control program uses ocular biometry to track your child's eye growth, with options like myopia control glasses, atropine drops, and specialty daily contact lenses.
Nearsightedness is rising fast with screen time. Slowing its progression in childhood lowers the risk of eye problems later in life, so starting early makes a real difference.
Getting started
We recommend a first eye exam around age 3, or sooner if anything seems off, and then yearly after that. A school vision screening mainly checks whether your child can see the board, while a full eye exam checks eye health and how the eyes work together. Since the yearly exam is covered by MSP up to age 18, it is an easy habit to start. Learn more about our clinic or book an eye exam in Surrey for the whole family.
