From their first books and classroom activities to sports, hobbies and screen use, children depend on their eyesight throughout the day. Good vision helps them interact with their surroundings and take part comfortably in everyday activities.
But children do not always know when their eyesight needs attention. They may assume that the way they see is normal or simply adjust their behaviour to compensate.
At Eye 2 Eye Opticians, we provide professional children’s eye tests near Hatch End, with an approach that is designed to make younger patients feel comfortable. Our experienced optometrists take time to assess each child’s visual needs and explain the findings clearly to parents.
Whether you have noticed something different about your child’s eyesight, they are approaching their first eye examination, or you simply want professional reassurance, we can help.
One of the more useful things parents can observe is how a child approaches close-up activities.
Reading, drawing, writing and homework all require sustained visual attention. If something is uncomfortable or difficult to see, a child may gradually change their behaviour rather than explain the problem.
You may notice that your child:
These behaviours can have many possible causes and do not automatically indicate a vision problem.
However, if you have noticed a consistent change, a professional eye examination can help determine whether eyesight may be contributing.

Great experience! The team at Eye to Eye were professional, personable and very attentive. Everything from the initial enquiry through to getting my new glasses was a very positive experience. After sales customer service, for any adjustments etc. was dealt with on a " nothing is too much trouble" basis. This is a very customer focused company, competitively priced, which I would highly recommend.Posted on Google![]()

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Eye 2 Eye on short notice for my son, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the exceptional service I received. Dipesh, Sima, and Sarah were absolutely brilliant! Despite the last-minute appointment, the team made sure everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. Sima was highly professional and thorough in her care, taking the time to explain everything clearly. Dipesh and Sarah were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The team’s friendly and supportive approach truly made a stressful situation so much easier. I would highly recommend Eye 2 Eye to anyone in need of excellent eye care and outstanding customer service!Posted on Google![]()

The appropriate timing can depend on the child's age, development and individual circumstances. If you have concerns about your child's vision, speak to an optometrist for personalised guidance.
Signs can include squinting, sitting very close to screens, difficulty reading, headaches or changes in visual behaviour. However, some children may have no obvious symptoms.
Not necessarily. An examination determines whether there is a vision or eye-health concern that requires attention. If glasses are appropriate, the optometrist can explain why and discuss suitable options.
Children's examinations are adapted to their age and ability to communicate. The optometrist uses suitable methods to assess their vision and visual development.
