The American Optometric Association recommends an eye exam for all infants, a second exam at age 2, and another at age 4-5 that includes visual acuity, eye alignment, color vision evaluation, depth perception, refractive error, and an eye health exam.

Many of the vision conditions that affect children are painless and present since birth. Young children with vision abnormalities or eye conditions may think that how they see is the way that everyone sees. Worse yet, visual disorders in children can result in serious learning problems and, at times, even behavioral issues. Ensuring clear vision is an investment in your child’s future.
