Lots of people don’t know this, but children don’t need to be able to read to have their eyes tested - they can have an eye test at any age, regardless of their ability to read or speak. Every child should get their eyes tested every year, or more if recommended by an eye health professional.
For more information and tips about how to look after your children’s eyesight, straight from RNIB’s trusted experts, download our free children’s eye health guide rnib.in/EyeHealthGuideForm
