Superior Vision Panel Expert Lori Hemmingsen-Souza, RN, Responds:
Catching a possible eye or vision problem early is crucial for the development of your child in so many areas. The American Optometric Association (AOA) states that infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam with an eye care provider at 6 months, then at 3 years old, and again at 5 or 6 years old. If no vision correction is needed, children should have exams every 2 years after that.
The AOA website (www.aoa.org) provides valuable exam guidelines and discussion specific to age brackets. Link to their website from our Vision Care Learning Center, or go directly to AOA’s website and click on the “Good Vision Throughout Life” section located on the left side of their home page.
