As a parent, knowing when your child needs their first eye test can feel overwhelming. Children’s vision develops rapidly, and problems can emerge without obvious warning signs. Regular eye examinations for kids are crucial to identify potential issues before they affect learning, development, or daily activities.
Vision care professionals recommend a structured approach to children’s eye examinations:
Infants: Initial screening by 12 months of age
Toddlers: Comprehensive eye test between ages 2-3
School-age children: Before starting Grade 1, then every 1-2 years
Many vision problems develop silently. Booking an eye examination early helps prevent complications that could impact your child’s academic performance and quality of life.
