Your Baby's First Eye Exam

By , About.com GuideSeptember 8, 2012

Follow me on:

Your pediatrician should perform a screening eye exam on your newborn to check for infections or structural problems with the eyes: malformed eyelids, cataracts, glaucoma or other abnormalities.

While the AOA recommends that children be checked at six months of age, your pediatrician will help you determine when an appropriate first visit is for your child.
