Children should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months, another at age 3, and again before starting school. School-aged children should have annual eye exams. Those with existing vision issues may need more frequent examinations.
Signs your child may need a comprehensive eye exam include squinting, head tilting, excessive blinking, eye rubbing, poor reading performance, headaches after visual tasks, sitting too close to screens, or complaints about blurry vision.
Dilation is sometimes recommended for children to properly assess their eye health and determine accurate prescriptions. The children’s comprehensive eye exam is customized based on your child’s age, cooperation level, and visual needs.
Explain the comprehensive eye exam process in positive, simple terms. Let them know the doctor will show them pictures and ask what they see. Bring a favorite toy for younger children, and schedule appointments during times your child is typically alert and cooperative.
No, school vision screenings typically only test distance vision and miss many important visual skills. A children’s comprehensive eye exam evaluates all aspects of vision and eye health, detecting issues that screenings often miss.
Common conditions detected during children’s comprehensive eye exams include refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism), amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turns), convergence insufficiency, and visual processing issues. Early detection through thorough examinations leads to more effective treatment.
