Children’s eye examinations
We understand how important it is for children to feel comfortable, confident and cared for when it comes to their vision. At Ellis & Killpartrick, we look after our youngest patients with the same dedication, attention and warmth that we offer every adult, while creating a relaxed, friendly environment where children can feel at ease.
Supporting healthy vision from a young age
Good eyesight plays a vital part in learning, development and everyday confidence. Regular eye examinations help us spot any changes early, giving your child the best possible support as they grow. Our optometrists are skilled in children’s eyecare, taking the time to explain everything clearly and gently so children and parents feel reassured throughout the visit.
Helping manage short-sightedness
Managing the progression of short-sightedness (myopia) is a key part of the care we provide. With more children becoming short-sighted at a younger age, early support can make a real difference to their long-term eye health.
We offer advanced myopia management options, including Stellest spectacle lenses, as well as contact lenses designed specifically for myopia control. These specialist solutions help slow the progression of short-sightedness while ensuring children still enjoy clear, comfortable vision every day.

Eyewear children feel good wearing
Children want to look stylish too, and we believe they should enjoy eyewear that feels great and looks great.
Whether they need everyday glasses, sports eyewear or their first pair of lenses, we are patient, supportive and enthusiastic throughout the process. Our team takes great care to ensure every frame is properly fitted. We help children choose eyewear that suits their personality, sits comfortably and supports their vision as they grow.
Friendly, experienced care
Our team is experienced in working with children of all ages. We understand that some may feel nervous or unsure, so we create a warm, welcoming atmosphere to help them relax. Children’s eye health is just as important to us as any adult’s, and we are here to guide parents with clear, honest advice every step of the way.
