Children’s Eye Care at Specsdirect2u Opticians

Healthy Vision for a Bright Future

At Specsdirect2u Opticians, we’re passionate about giving children the best possible start with their vision. From their first eye test to choosing the right pair of glasses, our team is here to provide expert care in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Comprehensive Children’s Eye Tests

We recommend regular eye examinations from the age of 4 or sooner if there are any concerns. Our eye tests are designed to be fun and child-friendly while checking all the essential aspects of your child’s visual development:

  • Visual Acuity (Sight Test)
  • Colour Vision Assessment
  • 3D Vision (Binocular Vision)
  • Detection of Squints (Strabismus)
  • Screening for Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

Early detection of vision issues is vital for learning, confidence, and eye health. Eye tests are free for children under the NHS, and we take the time to explain everything clearly to both parents and children.

Children’s Glasses – Style Meets Function

We stock a fantastic range of children’s glasses, from colourful and fun to sporty and secure. Our range includes:

  • Prescription Sports Glasses for active kids who play football, rugby, swimming, and more.
  • Specialist Frames for Children Under 7, including wraparound corded styles that help glasses stay securely on the face — perfect for toddlers and preschoolers.

🐙 Introducing SeeCreatures® Kids Eyewear

Fun. Flexible. Built to Last.

We’re proud to offer the award-winning SeeCreatures® range – the 2024 Opticians Award Winner for innovation in children’s eyewear.

✔️ Over 100 Custom Combinations
Children can build their own glasses by choosing colours for different frame parts — like LEGO, but for eyewear!

✔️ Super Durable Design
Made from Pebax® material and featuring 360° SuperFlex hinges, SeeCreatures® frames are:

  • Ultra-flexible and bendable
  • Designed to spring back to shape
  • Resistant to damage from UV, heat, and cleaning solutions

✔️ Comfort + Fit
Designed specifically for little faces, SeeCreatures® frames fit securely and comfortably — even through rough-and-tumble play.

Let your child enjoy the freedom to move, explore, and learn without worrying about broken glasses.

Myopia Control for Children – Stellest® Lenses

If your child is short-sighted (myopic), we offer myopia control lenses to help slow the progression of their prescription over time.

We fit Stellest® lenses, a clinically proven solution that helps manage myopia in growing eyes. These lenses are worn like regular glasses but use advanced optical technology to slow down eye growth and protect your child’s long-term vision.
