Children's Eyecare
Children’s formative years are in many ways shaped by visual learning. Protecting their eyesight and looking after their ocular health is an important part of supporting them as they learn to see the world. We take children’s eye care seriously, ensuring that all of our young patients get regular testing and any vision correction they need.
At C A Raison, our optometrists also understand how important it is to catch eye conditions early, so they make sure all examinations are detailed and thorough.

Looking After Young Eyes in Barnsley
At C A Raison Opticians, we know how important good vision is for children’s learning and development. That’s why we’re passionate about providing expert, friendly eyecare for children of all ages, helping them build a strong foundation for healthy eyes and clear vision.
Children’s eyes are constantly developing, and regular eye tests can help spot potential problems early — often before they might notice any symptoms themselves. Our experienced optometrists create a welcoming, relaxed environment to make eye tests enjoyable and stress-free for your child.
If you have any questions or concerns as a parent, we’ll be happy to discuss these in your appointment. We want to be sure that your child has clear vision, which is important for their development, learning, and confidence.
What if my child needs glasses?
Our wide range of durable, comfortable children’s frames ensures they’ll find glasses they’re happy to wear, with styles that are practical, stylish, and suited to active young lives. We can also discuss contact lenses for children if that’s better suited to their preferences and lifestyle e.g. if they play sports often.
