Eyecare for Kids
The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that most people have an eye exam every one to two years depending upon age and health.
An annual eye exam is one of the most important diagnostic and preventative measures you can take to protect your child's vision and health.
Routine eye exams are very beneficial and can assist your Eye Doctor in:
- Evaluating your child's visual development
- Providing early diagnosis and intervention
- Preventing visual impairment due to various conditions.
If you are in a higher-risk category for eye disease or complications your eye doctor may recommend more frequent exams. However, if you notice a change in your vision or receive an injury to your eye, you should contact your eye care professional immediately.
While this information is helpful, it should not be construed as medical advice. For more detailed explanation on any of these topics, please consult your eye care professional.
