Flying Fox Children’s Vision strives for excellence in understanding and managing vision in children.  Our goal is to assist every child to achieve the clearest vision possible and optimal visual performance.  We work closely with families, schools, doctors and other professionals to provide the highest level of care at all times for the benefit of the child



Vision problems in children: how common are they?

Australian population studies have suggested that as many as 25% of children will experience vision problems at some point during their education and that more than a half of children with vision problems are not diagnosed because they have  not been taken for an eye examination.  We recommend that children have their eyes examined every three years throughout their education and more often if the child experiences specific visual symptoms or there is a family history of vision problems.  Eye examinations for children are covered by Medicare.
