Children's Vision Care at Adelaide Eye Care

At Adelaide Eye Care, we recognise the paramount role of vision in a child's life. Vision is not just about seeing; it's about how children gather, sort, analyze, store, match, recall, and direct information. This cognitive process, rooted in the brain's development, makes vision a fundamental factor in thinking and learning. In fact, nearly 80% of classroom learning is acquired through the visual system. That's why we're dedicated to being the trusted professionals in children's vision care.

While all optometrists at Adelaide Eye Care enjoy seeing kids, Helen Keen, Oliver Mojica, Sam Hobbs and Elizabeth Capper have a strong professional interest in examining kids, and Dipika Mistry, Es Stefanopoulos and Rebekah Hopps also fit contact lenses to children of all ages.

Helen Keen and Oliver Mojica are members of the Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrists.
