Providing personalised children’s eye care with expertise, compassion and understanding.
More Than Eye Care: The Eyecare Kids Difference
Behind every eye test, every pair of glasses and every milestone is a team that genuinely cares.
At Eyecare Kids, we are proud to be an independent, Australian-owned optometry practice dedicated to children’s vision and eye health. Our team of Behavioural Optometrists, Optical Dispensers and support staff work together to provide personalised care for every child and family who visits our practice.
We believe children’s eye care is about more than checking whether your child can see clearly. It is about understanding how their eyes work, how they process visual information and how their vision supports their learning, development and everyday activities.
A different approach to children’s eye care
Every child is unique, and their vision needs can be just as individual.
Some children may have no obvious signs of vision difficulties, while others may experience challenges with reading, concentration, coordination or visual comfort. That is why we take the time to look beyond a basic eyesight check.
Our comprehensive children’s eye tests assess not only vision clarity but also important visual skills, including:
Eye tracking: How smoothly the eyes move across a page when reading or follow moving objects during activities.
Eye focusing: How well the eyes maintain clear vision when looking at books, screens or different distances.
Eye teaming: How effectively both eyes work together as a team.
Visual processing: How the brain interprets and responds to information received through the eyes.
These visual skills play an important role in helping children read comfortably, learn confidently and participate in everyday activities.
Expert care from Behavioural Optometrists
At Eyecare Kids, our Behavioural Optometrists take a comprehensive approach to children’s vision.
We consider your child’s visual development, symptoms, lifestyle, learning environment and overall needs when assessing their vision. This allows us to provide recommendations that are personalised to your child rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Whether your child is attending their first eye test, experiencing learning difficulties, needing glasses or requiring ongoing vision care, we aim to make every visit comfortable, positive and informative.
Supporting your child’s vision journey
Children’s eyes continue to change as they grow, which is why regular eye care is important throughout childhood.
At Eyecare Kids, we support families through a range of children’s vision services, including:
✅ Children’s eye tests
Regular children’s eye examinations help identify vision concerns early and ensure your child has the visual support they need for school and daily life
✅ Myopia management
Myopia (short-sightedness) is becoming increasingly common among children. We provide evidence-based myopia management options to help slow myopia progression and support long-term eye health.
✅ Children’s glasses and lens advice
Choosing glasses is about more than finding the right prescription. We help families select frames and lenses that suit their child’s vision needs, comfort, personality and lifestyle.
✅ Ongoing vision monitoring
As children grow, their visual needs can change. Regular reviews allow us to monitor progress and adjust recommendations when needed.
Creating positive eye care experiences for children
We understand that visiting an optometrist can feel unfamiliar for some children.
Our team focuses on creating a welcoming and supportive environment where children feel comfortable asking questions, learning about their vision, and building confidence throughout their eye care journey.
From their first eye test to ongoing vision management, we are here to support children and families every step of the way.
Supporting Your Child’s Vision Starts with Understanding
Every child’s vision develops differently, and early support can make a meaningful difference to their learning, confidence and everyday activities.
If you have concerns about your child’s eyesight, reading, concentration, visual comfort or changing prescription, our team at Eyecare Kids is here to help.
With five convenient Sydney locations in Bankstown, Chullora, Hillsdale, Kareela and Roselands, our Behavioural Optometrists provide comprehensive children’s eye tests and personalised vision care for families.

Frequently Asked Questions About Children’s Eye Care
A standard vision check mainly measures how clearly your child can see. At Eyecare Kids, our comprehensive children's eye tests also assess important visual skills such as eye tracking, focusing, eye teaming and visual processing, helping us better understand how your child's visual system supports learning and everyday activities.
Children can have their first eye examination from a young age, even before they start school. Early eye tests can help identify vision concerns and ensure children have the visual skills needed for learning and development.
The recommended frequency depends on your child’s age, vision needs and whether any concerns have been identified. Many children benefit from regular eye examinations to monitor changes as they grow.
A children’s eye test assesses more than eyesight. Our Behavioural Optometrists evaluate vision clarity, eye coordination, focusing ability, tracking skills and other visual functions that support everyday activities.
