Back to School....let's take a quiz

We’re in the back-to-school spirit, so it’s quiz time today!

At what age should your first child’s comprehensive eye exam be scheduled?

a. 5 years

b. 10 weeks

c. 6 months

d. 2 days

The correct answer is C, or 6 months. According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), infants should have their first exam at this time. Additionally, they should visit the eye doctor at age 3 and then again before heading off to kindergarten at age 5 or 6.

Since school vision screenings are not comprehensive enough to detect certain vision problems, the AOA recommends that school-aged children get an eye exam every two years. If your child does need glasses, he or she should have exams annually, unless otherwise directed by your eye doctor.
