If you have any concerns about your child's eyes, you can book an eye test with an optometrist or your GP. Children can be tested at any age, including when they cannot read or speak. 1001 Optometry stores provide expert eye testing services that aim to keep your child calm and comfortable throughout the testing process, located conveniently near you.

1001 Optometry offers bulk-billed children's eye tests for eligible Medicare card holders. This means you will not pay out of pocket for our services so long as you have a valid Medicare card.

You can monitor your child's visual skills by taking the time to observe any changes in behaviour related to eyesight. This can be in the form of avoiding previously enjoyed activities that require time spent focusing for long periods, such as reading or sports. Alternatively, it can be in the form of taking longer to complete tasks that require eyesight like homework.
