We are a patient-centred service for children with vision /eye movement difficulties. We provide interventions that maximises the visual potential of each child personally, functionally, academically and socially.
We support any child up to 7 years old (and special needs children up to 19 years old) with a visual impairment
The eyes and brain are still learning to see until 7 years, so treatment including glasses wear, patching and exercises are carried out by the Orthoptists.
Families can access this service without a referral, but the service is only available to families registered with a Trafford GP.
Eligibility: Generally, children under 7, but ocular motility issues up to 18, or young people with SEND up to 25.
All patients are discharged to a High Street Optometrist once treatment is complete the child/young person is able to access their services.
