What will happen in an eye test
Depending on your child's age, the optician will use different techniques to test their eyes. But however old they are, your child will have the vision in each eye tested separately and then tested together to see if they work properly.

Because a four-year-old cannot really explain which lenses have improved their vision, the optician will use an instrument called a retinoscope. This shines a light on the retina at the back of the eye and enables the optician to measure the eye's ability to focus."
