Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
During the appointment, the eye care professional will review your child’s medical history, discuss any vision concerns, and perform initial tests to assess visual acuity, eye alignment, and focusing skills.
3. Comprehensive Eye Examination
The eye exam includes a series of child-friendly tests to evaluate your child’s overall eye health and vision. These may include a visual acuity test using an eye chart, a binocular vision test to check eye coordination, and a retinal examination to assess the health of the retina and optic nerve.
4. Results and Recommendations
After the examination, the eye care professional will discuss the results with you and your child, explaining any findings in an easy-to-understand manner. If necessary, they will provide a prescription for glasses or recommend further treatment or follow-up appointments.
5. Your Child’s Clear Vision
Ensure your child enjoys optimal eye health and clear vision with a tailored plan that addresses their unique needs, supporting their learning and development.

Frequently Asked Questions
Eye Exam FAQ’s
When should my child have their first eye exam?
Your child should have their first eye exam at 6 months old, followed by another exam at age 3, and just before starting school (around age 5 or 6). Regular eye exams should continue every two years, or more frequently if recommended by the optometrist.
Why are eye exams important for children?
Eye exams are crucial for detecting vision problems that can affect a child's learning, development, and overall quality of life. Early detection and treatment of eye issues can prevent long-term vision problems and support academic and social success.
What signs indicate that my child might need an eye exam?
Signs that your child may need an eye exam include:
- Squinting or closing one eye
- Sitting too close to the TV or holding a book very close
- Frequent eye rubbing
- Complaints of headaches or eye strain
- Difficulty concentrating or poor performance in school
- Avoiding activities that require near vision (like reading) or distance vision (like sports)
