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.

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.

Most children have healthy normal eyes, but a few are born with serious eye diseases or disorders, some of which may not be obvious.

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 child 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 this site and further at www.optos.com/uk
