Frequently asked questions
What is myopia management for children in Northampton?
Myopia management uses specialist contact lenses or spectacle lenses to help slow the progression of short-sightedness in children. At Wootton Opticians we assess suitability and create a monitoring plan.
When should my child have an eye test?
Children should be tested regularly — often annually — especially if they sit close to screens, squint, complain of headaches, or have a family history of eye problems.
