Poll: Eye Exams for Kids
Sunday August 17, 2008
I believe all children should have a complete eye exam before starting school, usually around age 5 or 6. (Sometimes your pediatrician will notice a problem earlier.) I frequently perform eye exams on babies, so children can have their eyes checked at any age. Parents must remember that there is more to eye health than having 20/20 vision. A complete eye exam by an optometrist or ophthalmologist can detect eye problems that school vision screenings may miss.
