About this service
Children's Vision Tests
Children's vision problems are often missed because children adapt to poor vision remarkably well and may not complain of difficulties. Yet undetected vision problems can significantly affect learning, reading, and development. Our paediatric eye assessments are designed to be engaging and child-friendly while remaining clinically thorough.
What's included
- Age-appropriate vision testing for infants to teenagers
- Amblyopia (lazy eye) detection and treatment

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
When should my child have their first eye test?
We recommend a vision check before school age (around 4–5 years), or earlier if there are any concerns.
My child says their vision is fine, do they still need a test?
Yes. Children adapt to poor vision and often don't know what normal looks like.
Is the children's eye test bulk billed?
Yes, children's eye examinations are fully bulk billed with Medicare at no cost.
How do you test very young children who can't read?
We use picture charts, light reflexes and other non-verbal techniques that are accurate and child-friendly.
