August has finally arrived in Milwaukee, which means that the weather will start changing, back to school shopping has started, and every parent’s dream of their child being out of their hair is closer to realization. With all the back to school madness, it’s easy to overlook your child’s eye exam.
August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month. It is recommended that your child’s first dilated eye exam be at 6 months of age, then again at ages 3 and 6 years to ensure that their vision doesn’t cause learning or developmental difficulty.
Don’t take your child’s eye health for granted this back to school season. Make sure that scheduling an eye exam is at the top of the back to school shopping list. To schedule an appointment with one of our 3 highly trained optometrists visit us at MetroEye.biz or call us at (414)-727-5888
