Pediatric Eye Care Services
Infants are advised to undergo their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age, as recommended by the American Optometric Association (AOA). Additionally, children should have follow-up eye exams at 3 years old and just before starting kindergarten or first grade around the ages of 5 or 6. Visit EYES of Athens and Cleveland for expert eye care services tailored to your child’s needs.
For school-aged children, it’s recommended to get an eye exam every two years if no vision correction is needed. Kids who wear glasses or contacts should see the eye doctor annually or as advised. Parents should prioritize their children’s eye health since around 80% of learning in the first 12 years is through vision.
Good vision is crucial for your child’s academic success, as vision issues can impact their performance in school. Detecting and treating vision problems early is key to ensuring your child reaches their full potential. Regular eye check-ups are essential for people of all ages, as eye diseases can lead to vision impairment or loss. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of children are at risk for vision issues, but these conditions can be prevented with simple steps. Scheduling an eye exam for your child can help them excel in academics and sports, so don’t forget to book an appointment for yourself as well. Visit EYES of Athens and Cleveland today to prioritize your family’s eye health.
