Kids & Teens

Statton Opticians offers child-friendly eye examinations that will tell us everything we need to know about your child's eye health. Children don't have to be able to read to have an eye test. You can trust us to perform the same careful eye examination on your own child that we do for our own children. We'll ask you about family history and check your child's sight against expected levels of development for their age. We will also assess their vision and see if it needs correcting, following this we'll discuss the results clearly with you.

Children qualify for an NHS voucher, at Statton Opticians we have a great range of children glasses ranging from coloured metals to funky plastics, with the majority of costs covered by your NHS Voucher, meaning complete pairs of glasses and repairs at minimal cost.

Once they've had their first eye examination, your child will soon get into the habit of having their eyes checked regularly. We like to see children at least every year to ensure we and you are looking after their precious sight and to help you with any questions you have about your child's vision. Come in with your child to see us anytime. Older children may be interested in contact lenses - click here for more information.

Visual stress can impact how individuals read and comprehend text, leading to discomfort in daily activities. Many people struggle with reading, writing, and processing information, which can affect their performance at school or work.

At Stratton Opticians, for many years we have provided an assessment to help both children and adults experiencing visual stress. One solution we offer is the ChromaGen system, which features a unique range of specially tinted lenses. These lenses may help some patients improve their reading speed.

During the assessment, we find the right color combination for each individual. When the correct combination is identified, patients often experience immediate benefits such as clearer text, easier reading, and better recognition of words and numbers. We have done many assessments over the years and have found some remarkable results. Feel free to call us for further information.

Please keep in mind that while many individuals report relief using tinted lenses or overlays, there is currently no strong clinical evidence to support their use as a treatment for reading difficulties or visual stress.
