When Should Your Child Have Their Eyes Examined?

As children grow and change, so do their eyes. A comprehensive eye exam monitors those changes to ensure your little one can see to the best of their ability. To ensure your child achieves visual success, the American Optometric Association recommends an age-appropriate schedule for visiting the eye doctor:

Age 0–2: first eye exam between 6 and 12 months
Age 3–5: at least one eye exam
Age 6–17: once before first grade and every year after that

If your optometrist determines your child is at risk for vision problems, they may recommend more frequent examinations.

Visual Skills We Test For

For your child to successfully read and learn, they need necessary visual skills that go beyond seeing 20/20. The following skills help your child recognize, comprehend, and remember the information their eyes are taking in:

Visual Acuity—how well your child can see objects in the distance
Focusing Ability—the quickness and accuracy of maintaining clear vision when switching from viewing an object in the distance to close up
Eye Tracking—the ability to keep their eyes on a moving object or when their eyes move while reading words on a page
Hand-Eye Coordination—how visual information translates from the brain to the hands
Eye Teaming—how well your child’s eyes work together
Visual Perception—the ability to organize images and to understand and remember the information
