Carried out by accredited optometrists specialising in children’s eye examinations, it is important for children to have examinations early. All children under the age of 16 (up to 19 if in full time education) are entitled to sight tests funded by the NHS. However, Aarons have taken the decision to include additional testing for children in examinations, this is not covered by the basic NHS test, but we believe it is too important not to do and will do this at no additional cost to you. Your child’s sight is too important to accept anything less.
