School Vision Assessments
What is a School Vision?
School Vision assessments are a detailed, thorough eye examination. Designed for children who are struggling with reading, concentration and confidence in their school work.
School vision practitioners are trained to perform more reading specific eye tests. To detect eye dominance and examine the way both eyes work together, more thoroughly than basic NHS eye examinations. With suitable correction prescribed in the form of spectacles, contact lenses, tints and prisms. With close monitoring, school vision assessments can unlock a child’s potential by optimising visual comfort and therefore encourage the drive for development.
Are you suitable for a School Vision Assessment?
Does your child suffer from any of the following:
- Headaches
- Frustration with schoolwork
- Difficulties reading and spelling

- Letter/words jumping on a page
- Problems with glare on a page
- Poor attention in class or bad behaviour
- Holding a book very closely
- Closing an eye whilst reading
Please note school vision assessments are a non NHS specialist service.
What our customers are saying
I was concerned that something wasn’t right with my vision. Amanda saw me the same day of my concern, conducted some scans and found the problem with my eyes immediately. She referred me to the Eye Department at Eastbourne DGH without fail and I had an appointment the following Monday where the consultant wanted to run some more tests. I saw another consultant three days later and had laser eye surgery that day for a problem where I could have lost my sight. I cannot recommend Focus Eye Centre highly enough, from the receptionists to the opticians; nothing was too much trouble. I feel so fortunate to have these wonderful people looking after me and my eyes.
With grateful thanks
