Eye exams in Tunbridge Wells
During their early years, a child depends on their vision to learn about the world and explore their surroundings. So it is important to take care of their developing vision.
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.

The importance of checkups
Sending your child to regular check-ups allows you to detect the onset of any problems. Having your child’s eyes checked as early as three years of age can prevent serious eye problems from developing.
It can be hard to tell the signs of eye problems since your child may not be able to explain what they are experiencing. In some cases, they might not be aware that they have problems in the first place. Watch out for these signs before they lead to permanent vision problems:
- Frequent squinting
- Frequent eye rubbing
- Sitting too close to the TV, holding a phone, tablet or book too close
- Closing one eye while watching TV or reading
- Highly sensitive to light
- Complaining about headaches or tired eyes
- Poor literacy
- Poor performance in school
