For Your Children for Marlow Residents
Education is a priority in Marlow, the town's grammar and prep schools have strong reputations, and parents are invested in their children's success. When visual difficulties undermine academic performance, Eyewise provides the specialist assessment to understand why. Many Marlow families discover us through school recommendations or word of mouth among parents.
Marlow's excellent schools demand excellent vision. Reading fluency, sustained focus, accurate copying, these skills all depend on a visual system that's working efficiently. When it isn't, even the brightest children struggle. At Eyewise, we test the skills that matter most.
Paediatric Examinations: Our assessments go well beyond the letter chart. We evaluate binocular coordination, focusing stamina, tracking accuracy, convergence, and colour vision, the full toolkit your child's eyes need for learning and play. Our team is gentle and patient, experienced with children from age three through to teenagers.
SchoolVision: For children at Sir William Borlase's, Danesfield, Holy Trinity, or Great Marlow who are working hard but falling behind, SchoolVision assesses every visual skill the classroom demands. The results frequently explain difficulties that extra tutoring and effort haven't solved, because the problem was visual, not academic.
Myopia Management: Academic demands mean Marlow children spend significant time on near work, homework, reading, screens. This drives myopia progression. Our evidence-based programme uses EyeDream overnight lenses or specialist spectacle lenses to slow the progression, protecting your child's eye health long into the future.
Colorimetry: Visual stress can be especially frustrating for capable children who can't understand why reading is so difficult. Our Intuitive Colorimeter assessment identifies whether precision-tinted lenses would help. For many Marlow families, this assessment has been the breakthrough they'd been searching for.

Google reviewFantastic friendly service from whole team. My family have been using Eyewise for over 10 years since my daughter was diagnosed with visual stress as part of her dyslexia. Under Harsh's expert care she no longer needs her tinted glasses or any glasses for that…

Google reviewFrequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child first have an eye examination?
We recommend a first eye examination at around age 3-4, before starting school. However, if you notice any concerns earlier, such as a squint, sitting very close to the TV, or difficulty with hand-eye coordination, bring your child in sooner. Children don't need to know their letters; we have age-appropriate tests for the very youngest patients.
How do I know if my child has visual stress?
Signs of visual stress include words appearing to move, blur, or shimmer on the page, losing their place when reading, using a finger to track lines, headaches during or after reading, and avoiding reading altogether. If your child shows any of these signs, a colorimetry assessment with our Intuitive Colorimeter can determine whether precision-tinted lenses would help.
My child at Borlase's Grammar is academically strong but reads slowly compared to peers, could there be a visual reason?
Slow reading in an otherwise able child often points to a visual efficiency issue, either visual stress, a focusing difficulty, or a binocular coordination problem. These don't affect how clearly the child sees, so standard sight tests miss them. A SchoolVision or colorimetry assessment at Eyewise will evaluate these skills and identify any issues.
