Ensure your child’s visual well-being: Schedule their first eye test around three and a half years old, but if you have any concerns earlier, tests can still be conducted at any age. Taking your child for an eye test before starting primary school provides peace of mind for their learning, and early tests are vital if there’s family history of eye issues like lazy eye or squints.

The cost of a child’s eye test is covered by the NHS for all children under the age of 16. The cost is also covered for under 19’s in full time education
