Childrens Eyecare

Silverberg Opticians Liverpool

Your children are the most important thing in the world to you. There is not anything you would not do to keep them healthy and happy. Yet, in the UK, one out of every five children is suffering from an undiagnosed eyesight problem.

Keep a lookout for the telltale signs: sitting too close to the television, holding a book too close to their face or squinting. Perhaps what you take for youthful clumsiness could be a manifestation of their inability to accurately judge distance.

Even if your child is not exhibiting any of the symptoms described above, it makes good parental sense to take them for regular children's eye tests - just to be on the safe side. Besides if they are under 16 years of age or under 19 and in full time education – it is completely free!

Silverberg Opticians have been taking care of the optical well-being of the children of Liverpool and Merseyside for more than fifty years. We are proud to say that entire generations of families have chosen Silverberg Opticians. Our team of experts are not only highly-experienced in the field of Optometry, they also know how to put your child at ease during what can be, a slightly daunting process.

Should the results of your child's eye examination tell us that they need corrective lenses, your child (if they're under 16 or under 19 in full time education) will qualify for an NHS voucher entitling them to free spectacles from our stylish children's range. If your child is a budding fashionista, you may want to push the boat out and take a look at our designer ranges.

There is more to a child’s eye examination than checking 20:20 vision

We all want the best for our children and good vision is essential for their proper physical and educational development. Early detection of treatable eye disease in childhood can have far reaching implications for vision and in some cases, for general health. Without early intervention, a child with an untreated eye problem may suffer from serious vision loss or even blindness.
Most children have healthy normal eyes, but a few are born with serious eye diseases or disorders, some of which may not be obvious.
Young children might not be able to tell you if they have an eye problem

You can give your child the best start in life by ensuring that they receive regular eye checks from an early age.

The advanced new method of seeing the health of your eye
We are committed to the highest standard of eye care at the Silverberg Opticians practice and we would like to give you the opportunity for your child to have an Optomap Retinal Exam. This exam was developed by a father whose chid lost the sight in one eye due  to an undetected retinal detachment.

Your Optometrist strongly recommends that both you and your children have an Optomap Retinal Exam. You can find out more information about this procedure in our Optomap section of the site and further at www.optos.com/uk
