With a clear view to a successful future
Children discover the world through their eyes - but undetected vision problems can make everyday life and learning difficult. Reading difficulties, line jumps or blurred vision are possible signs of undetected vision problems.
Using special optometric measurement techniques, we analyze your child's vision early and accurately. This allows us to find targeted solutions to support visual skills. Our products range from sturdy, flexible children's glasses to fashionable frames and customized contact lenses - from daily disposables to extended wear.
Regular follow-up visits at three-month intervals ensure that your child's vision is optimally adjusted and that the health of his or her eyes is maintained over the long term.
Clear vision from an early age
Children experience the world through their eyes, so early vision screening is essential. Using specialised, child-friendly exams, we accurately assess visual function and provide personalised solutions to support clear vision and healthy development.

Early detection of visual impairment - for the healthy development of your child
Early detection of vision problems is critical for your child's healthy development. With our pediatric measurement technology, we can accurately detect and evaluate even the smallest abnormalities in visual function. We focus on identifying vision problems before they affect your child's daily activities, such as learning, playing or sports.
Our comprehensive pediatric eye exam not only helps us identify existing vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, but also provides valuable information about overall vision development. The goal is to provide your child with the best possible care and avoid long-term damage.

Myopia management for children: slowing short-sightedness naturally
Short-sightedness (myopia) in children is becoming more common - and it's not just about wearing glasses. As the eyes lengthen, the risk of future eye problems such as retinal damage or glaucoma increases.
That's why at Optik Maurer we offer personalised myopia management to help slow the progression of myopia. Using advanced measurement techniques such as precise axial length measurement, we can detect changes early and find the best solution for your child - ensuring clear vision today and healthy eyes for the future.

Daily disposable lenses: Hygienic and easy to use - ideal for kids with active lifestyles.
Monthly lenses: Affordable and perfect for regular use, individually fitted.

Working closely with ophthalmologists
Myopia management works best when optical and medical approaches are combined. We work closely with experienced ophthalmologists to best integrate complementary therapies, such as the use of atropine eye drops.
Atropine eye drops have been shown in many studies to be effective in slowing the progression of myopia. They are prescribed and regularly monitored only by an ophthalmologist. Our partnership with doctors ensures comprehensive care for your child - for long-term success and healthy eyes.

FAQ: Pediatric Optometry Frequently Asked Questions
-
At what age is paediatric optometry recommended?
From the age of four, we can use specialised, child-friendly measurement techniques to detect vision problems early. Early screening helps to identify and correct potential impairments in time.
For very young children or for medical concerns, we recommend a visit to an ophthalmologist.
-
Can an optometrist diagnose vision problems in children?
No, a medical diagnosis can only be made by an ophthalmologist. However, as optometrists, we use specialised measuring techniques to assess your child's vision and detect any irregularities early. Our examinations complement the ophthalmologist's check-ups and help to identify potential vision problems in time.
-
How does a paediatric optometric eye test work?
During a pediatric optometric eye exam, we use specialised, child-friendly tests to assess:
Visual acuity - detecting short-sightedness, long-sightedness or astigmatism
Eye movements - assessing eye tracking and fixation skills
Binocular vision - analysing how well both eyes work together for comfortable vision
The aim is to identify vision problems early and support your child's healthy vision development.
-
Can my child wear contact lenses?
Yes, children can wear contact lenses. They are particularly useful for active children or as part of a myopia management programme, providing a practical alternative to glasses. Proper fitting, handling and care are essential.
We'll be happy to give you a personal consultation to help you find the best contact lenses for your child.
-
How often should my child's vision be checked?
Regular eye examinations are important, especially if there are existing vision problems or as part of a myopia management programme. We recommend an annual check-up** to detect changes early.
Depending on individual needs, such as progressive nearsightedness, shorter intervals may be beneficial. We'll be happy to advise you on the best schedule for your child.
