Comprehensive Children’s Eye Care in Baulkham Hills
Vision develops rapidly during the first year of life and becomes our dominant sense, yet it’s estimated that 1 in 5 pre schoolers have an undetected vision problem. Early detection is key to ensuring your child reaches their full potential at school and beyond.
At Eyekonic Optometry, we recommend a full children’s eye examination before starting school and regular check-ups throughout primary and high school. Our experienced optometrists assess more than just blurred vision—they evaluate focusing ability, eye teaming, tracking, and how the brain processes visual information (visual processing), helping to detect any delays that may impact learning or development.
Behavioural Optometry for Children
Using a holistic behavioural optometry approach, our team develops a personalised treatment plan for your child. This may include:
Prescription glasses to correct or support vision
Vision training programs to strengthen eye coordination and processing
Advice on best visual habits for home and school
Referrals to eye specialists or other healthcare professionals if needed
