Exe Exams For Children

Around the age of 3, children should have an eye exam.

Before beginning kindergarten, they should have their eyes examined again.

Children should have their eyes examined every 1-2 years throughout childhood and adolescence. Your child's pediatrician may be able to do this at regular check-ups. Talk to him/her for more information. (Having your child's examined at school by a school nurse is not enough.)
