Children don’t have to be able to read to have an eye test.
Barna Opticians offers child-friendly tests that will tell us, and you, everything we need to know about your child’s eye health. We’ll ask you about family history and check your child’s sight against expected levels of development for their age. We’ll assess their vision and see if it needs correcting, before discussing the results clearly with you.
Children seen through the HSE clinics may qualify for a HSE voucher which may cover all or part of the cost of their glasses. We have a great selection of kids glasses ranging from coloured plastics to funky metals and will undoubtedly find a frame to satisfy the fussiest of younger customers!
Barna Opticians is happy to stock this brand of wonderful frames that are designed to accommodate and fit the features of children and adults with Down syndrome, as well as other individuals with unique facial features. This innovative eyeglass design includes a bridge which is adjusted to properly fit a low nasal bridge and temples (or "arms" of the glasses) which are modified to keep the glasses from constantly slipping down.
Barna Opticians is the only accredited supplier of these frames in County Galway.
Flexible, Safe, Quality Eyewear for Children
Miraflex frames offer an anatomically designed bridge that eliminates the need for nose pads and the inherent, associated risk. An elastic band wraps behind the head and assures the frames stay seated properly on the face with tensors that take up any elastic slack.
Indestructible and Flexible Children’s Glasses
We know that children are restless by nature. They run, jump, play, and need glasses that adapt to them, and resist all possible blows and falls that may come their way. NanoVista have created the best indestructible and flexible children’s glasses on the market.
Many parents have now opted for NanoVista children’s glasses. They know their toughness and greatly value not having to change their children’s glasses every two seconds, because they break. That is why, all Nano’s indestructible and flexible children’s glasses are safe, manufactured from the best materials, and come in multiple models, so that you can always find glasses that fit your child’s style and taste.
