Eye tests in Tonbridge
Around one million children in the UK have an undiagnosed vision problem. Don’t let your child be one of them
Children greatly depend on their vision for learning. Help them get the most out of everyday situations by ensuring that their eyes are 100% ready for learning.
At Crowborough Opticians, we offer eye exams for children as young as 3 years old. Our opticians are great at putting children at ease and our tests and equipment are designed for their needs. For young children who can’t yet read, we have charts with familiar shapes or pictures. Together, we can monitor how your child’s eyes are developing and address any vision problem at the onset.
What our customers say about us
Matthew offered me first class treatment when I visited for an appointment. Nothing was too much trouble and he the took time to explain everything I asked. I would recommend Crowborough opticians to anyone needing an eye test.

A long overdue review about my recent experience at Crowborough Opticians. The service was one of a kind and rare, the type you do not really experience nowadays! I am a glass-wearer for most of my life and had so much trouble to find suitable and well fitting frames with adequately thinned lenses. The team (with Anne (hope I remember the name well) helping me all way through) was honest, not trying to sell but guided me gently to find the best glasses, and made the whole experience so much better than usually is. Thank you so much for everything. Surely will return if I need another pair!

Excellent help and service when a lens dropped out of my specs during a long journey. Repair carried out quickly and efficiently and was able to resume journey.

Signs to look out for
Early detection can lead to early prevention. Sadly, young children do not know how to explain what they are experiencing, while some aren’t aware that they have a problem at all. Watching out for these signs will help you address vision problems before they lead to permanently reduced vision:
- Frequent squinting or frowning
- Frequent eye rubbing
- Sitting too close to the TV or holding a book too close
- Closing one eye while watching TV or reading
- Sensitivity to light
- Complaining of headaches or tired eyes
- Poor literacy
- Poor performance at school
Having their eyes checked as early as 3 years of age helps identify any vision problems that need to be addressed. When left undetected and untreated, eye problems can impact a child’s development and education. Prevent this from happening by partnering with us in caring for your child’s eye health.
