Many parents wonder what the appropriate guidelines are when determining when to have their childrens first eye examination.
Proper vision care at an early age is recommended even if your child is not displaying any eye or vision problems at the age of 6 months.
The American Optometric Association designed a public health program called InfantSEE to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness care. Under this program, participating optometrist provide a comprehensive eye assessment between 6 and 12 months of age as a no-cost public service.
