When Should Children Have Eye Exams?

The American Optometric Association recommends:

  • First exam at 6–12 months of age
  • Another exam at 3–5 years old
  • Annual exams from age 6 and up, especially once they start school

Regular eye exams help detect issues early, such as lazy eye, eye misalignment, or vision problems that could affect reading and learning.

What We Check During a Child Eye Exam

Our kid-friendly exams include:

  • Vision sharpness (near and far)
  • Eye movement and coordination
  • Focusing ability
  • Depth perception and color vision
  • Eye health and early signs of disease
  • Prescription for glasses (if needed)

We use modern tools designed specifically for children to ensure comfort and accurate results.
