I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for an optician for children? My daughter has complained about "blurry" vision. I have not taken too much notice of it, as it usually only happens when she is meant to be doing her school reading, however i have noticed her rubbing her eyes, and thought I should perhaps take her to an optician.


SO has anyone had any experinece of this before . My duaghter is six.


And any recommendations for opticians that deal with children?


Thanks

Took my son (9) to Hunter and Paine on Lordship Lane a couple of weeks ago as he was having trouble seeing the whiteboard in class. The opticican was so lovely with him. Would defo recommend a visit.


Funnily enough my son loves wearing glasses. Not sure if it just him or times ahve changed as I hated wearing glasses as a child.

Could be something to do with visual stress if the optometrist cannot find any problems. It describes the difficulties that some people experience when viewing text for long periods. Symptoms includes rubbing eyes, frequently blinking and looking away from the page. However changing the colour of the background by using coloured overlays or rulers can dramatically improve aspects of visual perception.
Teacher_em thanks for that. I have some coloured overlays at work I could use those ! (I work with students in HE), might try optometrist first although I don't think it's a vision problem as such as today she read, no rubbing etc, but she does complain of having blurry eyes, so I best have them tested.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
