Children's Eye Exams

Good vision is essential for learning and development. Pediatric eye exams detect problems early — when they're most treatable. Key points for parents:

The American Optometric Association recommends a child's first eye exam at 6–12 months
Follow-up exams at age 3, before starting school, and annually during school years
Undetected vision problems are a common — and treatable — cause of learning difficulties
Amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes) are most treatable when caught early
School vision screenings are not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam

What to Bring to Your Appointment

Current insurance card(s) and Medicare/Medicaid card if applicable
A list of any current medications (some affect vision and eye health)
Your most recent eyeglass or contact lens prescription if available
Any prior eye exam records or ophthalmology reports
Sunglasses for after the appointment — pupils may be dilated
Your current glasses and/or contact lens case
