Boots Opticians Wimbledon - Centre Court Shopping Centre 2017-04-03 Person 4 5 0

I am a Boots the Optician customer and made an appointment for my daughter who has just turned fouryears old. I became shortsighted from a young age and was wanting to check her eye sight. The optometrist was great, incredibly nice, attentive and professional. I don't if my daughter was too young for an eye test, or if Boots, or this store are not prepared with the right expertise to test a young child. For example in one instance the optometrist was asking my daughter to follow a nib of a pen, and in an other she was asking if any icons on an iPad were popping out, which was really difficult for her to understand in terms of what she was being asked and what she needed to do. I'm not criticising the optometrist at all but I just felt that an eye for a young child could be more intuitive to their capabilities, and possibly more fun. For example if you are wanting them to follow an object with their eyes maybe make it colourful and appealing to a young child. If you are wanting to test their eye sight maybe use shapes, and characters rather than letters or numbers. But then again I don't know if the fault lies with me as maybe a four year is too young. I'm not sure what the answer is. I did come away from the eye test reassured by the optometrist who I cannot compliment enough, I just feel that maybe the process with a child can be slightly better / different.
