When Should Your Child Have His or Her First Eye Exam



A common misconception parents have is that a vision screening at their child’s school and/or a vision check at the Pediatrician’s office is the same as an eye exam.

 Most of the parents think that Vision Screening and Eye Exam are same but they are not same thing because Vision Screenings are vision tests that are designed to ONLY check to see if a child is able to read the eye chart.They do not check for visual development problems or eye health issues.

Your child should have an eye exam at ANY age if a problem is suspected. An eye examination can be performed on an infant, as young as one day old. It is essential that your child has an eye exam by an EYE DOCTOR at least by age 4 or 5 – before entering kindergarten.  Many forms of blindness or lazy eye (amblyopia) can be prevented if detected early AND corrected.
