New Child Info Online

You may prefer to print a pdf version of the questionaire to bring with you on the day or email to us ahead of time.

By filling out the online questionnaire below you will be giving us information to best assess your child's vision.  
Your child's visual examination will be more than just a traditional eyesight test. As well as eyesight & eye health, we investigate how efficiently your child's eyes team together, how your child takes in information & how well they understand what they see. We believe optimal school performance required the development of optimal visual skills.
