Recommended Pediatric Eye Exam Schedule for Children
The AOA recommends that children have a comprehensive eye exam every two years. More specifically:
- First 12 months – Infants, particularly premature babies, should have an eye exam in the first 12 months.
- Age 2 or 3 years – Preschool is a critical time for learning. Preschoolers should have an eye exam when they are old enough to understand and respond to the exam.
- Age 5 – Kindergarten is also a critical time for learning. Kindergartners should have an eye exam before entering school.
- Children without identified vision problems should then have a comprehensive eye exam every two years.
- Children who wear glasses or who have other eye conditions should see the eye doctor at least annually, or more often, as recommended by the doctor.
Dr. L. As I call her is the best around! I have a very difficult prescription and schedule. She not only figured out my prescription which has two levels but, she also spent a long time trying to assist me in wearing contacts. Dr Smith is very accommodating. I am never rushed when I am there. I also have great frames thanks to her as well! Dr L does both pediatric and adult eye care and is well worth the trip if you aren’t from Sudbury !!! Thank you Dr L for the great care!!
