Paediatric Eye Treatments: Gentle Care for Growing Eyes

pediatrics

From £300 · complimentary assessment

Children’s eyes are constantly developing, and early detection of vision problems is key to protecting their long-term sight. Our clinic provides child-friendly assessments and treatments to support healthy vision at every stage of development.

Why paediatric eye care matters

Many eye conditions begin in childhood and, if left untreated, can affect learning, development, and confidence. Routine eye checks and early intervention help ensure children have the visual foundation they need for school and daily life.

  • Refractive Errors (short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism): Clear, comfortable vision for learning and play.
  • Myopia Management: Special lenses and therapies to slow progression of short-sightedness.
  • Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Strengthening vision in the weaker eye through tailored treatments.
  • Strabismus (Eye Turn): Correcting misalignment to support binocular vision.
  • Eye Health Monitoring: Screening for rare but serious childhood eye conditions.

01

Free assessment

We look forward to welcoming you to your appointment and answering any questions you may have about treatment options, the clinic, timings or fees. Your consultation will include a comprehensive assessment by a consultant ophthalmologist, including vision testing and any required diagnostic imaging, to determine your suitability for treatment and develop an individualised management plan.

02

DIAGNOSIS

Following review of your assessment results, your consultant will explain the findings and discuss the most appropriate evidence-based management options, including non-surgical alternatives where relevant. The consultation will include a discussion of the expected outcomes, potential risks, recovery considerations and associated costs, enabling a shared decision on the most suitable treatment plan for your needs.

03

TREATMENT

You will be welcomed by our clinical team, who will complete final checks, confirm consent and ensure you are comfortable before treatment. The procedure is performed by your consultant using modern technology, followed by immediate post-operative assessment and provision of tailored aftercare instructions, including guidance for your recovery and onward support.

04

AFTERCARE

Good outcomes depend on structured follow-up care. We will monitor your recovery through scheduled reviews, adjust medications as required, and provide ongoing clinical advice, including guidance on symptoms, activity levels, and when to seek further support, with direct access to our team between appointments if needed.

How much does paediatric eye care cost?

We believe in transparent pricing for children’s eye health. After your child’s assessment, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs for any recommended treatments, including glasses, therapies, or follow-up visits.
