Good eyesight is crucial for kids as it can affect their confidence and performance in school. It’s also crucial to identify problems early so they can be treated easily. For instance, squinting can be corrected before the age of 8, but after that it will become permanent.

You and your child can find out more about your eyes at Boots Learning Store.

Free eye tests
Children under 16 (or under 19 if in full time education) are entitled to a free NHS eye test. They may also qualify for free glasses. We’ll be able to tell you more at your local branch.

Booking tests together
If you’re taking a child for an eye test, why not take a test yourself at the same time? It’s convenient and can make it more fun for your child. Our booking form allows you to book for as many people as you like, so you could even book for the whole family.
