Experts say 5 to 10% of pre-schoolers and 25% of school-aged children have vision problems.
Eye exams for children are extremely important. Early identification of a child’s vision problem is crucial because if left untreated, some childhood vision problems can cause permanent vision loss.
According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age. Children then should receive additional eye exams at 3 years of age, and just before they enter kindergarten or the first grade at about age 5 or 6.
Pre-school children can have their eyes thoroughly tested even if they don’t yet know the alphabet or are too young or too shy to answer the doctor’s questions.
