80% of Learning Is Visual – Visit Your Kids Optometrist in Lynbrook
As a concerned parent, ensuring your child’s vision is healthy and developing well is essential. At Lynbrook Optical, our kids optometrist can help detect early vision issues, supporting your child’s potential and reducing the risk of lifelong vision problems. Many children labeled as hyperactive, lazy, or struggling with reading and focus may actually have undiagnosed vision challenges. Our specialised care aims to provide the right diagnosis and support for children’s unique vision needs.
When Should a child’s eyes be examined?
We recommend scheduling a detailed kids eye test in Lynbrook at age 3 and again before primary school to identify and treat any vision concerns early. This proactive approach supports clear and comfortable vision as your child grows. While routine check-ups may include basic vision screenings, it’s important to understand that these screenings can’t replace a comprehensive eye test with a kids optometrist. At Lynbrook Optical, we focus on thorough paediatric eye exams to ensure your child’s eyes are healthy and developing well.
Kids Optometrist in Lynbrook | Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our kids optometrist at Lynbrook Optical provides a comprehensive approach to children’s eye exams, going beyond standard vision checks. We assess your child’s visual acuity, focus, eye coordination, tracking skills, depth perception, and color vision. Through these thorough kids eye tests, we can identify potential vision issues early and offer targeted interventions to support your child’s visual development.
But how do you know if your child has vision problems?
10 warning signs our pediatric optometrist urges parents to look out for.
- Squinting or rubbing their eyes frequently.
- Sitting too close to the TV or holding books too close to their face.
- Complaining of headache or eye strain.
- Struggling to read or write.
- Closing one eye to read, watch TV or see better.
- Losing their place while reading or skipping words.
- Losing focus or falling behind in school.
- One or both eyes are turning in or out.
- Struggling to see objects in the distance.
- The pupil is white or grey instead of black (this one requires urgent medical attention).
If you notice any of these signs in your child, dont delay. Schedule an eye test for your child to ensure their vision is healthy and developing properly. Our experienced paediatric optometrist serves eye care needs of patients looking for a ‘kids eye test near me’ in Lynbrook, Lyndhurst, Hampton Park, Cranbourne, Narre Warren, and Dandenong.

Hard to get too excited about an Optometrist when you are almost 63, especially in my case never worn glasses before. Just going in for the regular eye test. However, if the Optometrist is a professional optimist as well as in Dr Ali and staff @ Lynbrook Optical in SE Melbourne, happens to be near great food, coffee and loads of free parking, then I know I won’t go anywhere else.. and they bulk bill.. yay

The best optical clinic/store I’ve dealt with in my 30 years of wearing eyeglasses. Dr Ali is very knowledgeable and thorough in examining my complicated eyes. Took time to listen to my problem of having just one eyeglasses that is multifocal, can be used for both computer work and driving, shopping etc. And he gave it to me! Now I got a very stylish Calvin Klein multifocal, transition eyeglasses that I can wear everywhere. Soo happy. Thank you so much!

Although my last experience at this optometrist would have been 1/2 a star, I had no choice but to visit again last Friday.
I was pleasantly surprised by the advice and care this time.
The optometrist was very straight forward and I appreciated that he explained how dire the circumstance my condition was.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most kids have an eye screening as part of their developmental checks through the maternal and child health nurse which is great for picking up signs of a problem early. However, a more thorough check by an optometrist is recommended at age 3 and then before starting school to ensure your child’s optimal learning and development.
While there is no conclusive evidence that eye exercises or certain foods can eliminate the need for glasses, there are some activities that can help maintain good eye health. Encouraging your child to spend time outdoors, limiting screen time, and ensuring proper lighting and posture when reading or doing close-up work can all help promote healthy eyes. Additionally, eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids may help support eye health.
It’s normal for children to take some time to adjust to wearing glasses. Encouraging them to wear their glasses consistently, providing positive feedback, and making sure their prescription is up-to-date can all help. It’s also important to ensure that your child’s glasses fit comfortably and securely.

No. Optometrists are considered primary care providers and no referral is needed. Just book an appointment online or call us.
Yes, children can wear contact lenses, but the decision should be made on a case-by-case basis in consultation with an optometrist. Age is not the primary factor in determining whether a child can wear contacts, but rather their maturity, responsibility, and ability to follow proper hygiene and safety protocols. Some children may be ready to wear contacts as early as age 8 or 9, while others may need to wait until they are teenagers.
