Allergies

Allergies are a common concern for many children. If your little one has itchy, red, or watery eyes, it could be a sign of allergies. Environmental factors like pollen or mold are often the culprits. Unfortunately, children tend to rub their eyes when they feel discomfort, which can make the symptoms even worse. If you're unsure what's behind your child’s eye discomfort, visit Specsavers Opticians Zimbabwe, where our optometrists are ready to help.

Growing Eyes Need Regular Check-Ups!

Your kids are growing and changing every year, including their vision. Even if they seem to have perfect 20/20 eyesight, their vision can change gradually over time. Undetected and untreated vision problems can lead to conditions like lazy eye or crossed eyes, which are often harder to address later. Ensure your child’s eye health is in good condition by visiting any of our branches for a comprehensive eye exam.

LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR CHILD REPORTS ABOUT THEIR EYES:

“My eyes are itchy,” “my eyes are burning” or “my eyes feel scratchy. ”I can’t see very well.” After doing close-up work, your child says “I feel dizzy,” “I have a headache” or “I feel sick/nauseous.” “Everything looks blurry,” or “I see double.” If one or more of these signs appear, take your child to an eye doctor right away.
