VISION SCREENING INFORMATION

Children should have routine vision checks and eye exams to ensure their eyes are developing normally:

• Newborn physical exam: Within 72 hours of birth, a doctor or nurse will check for any obvious physical problems with the eyes.

  
  

• 6–8 weeks: A follow-up physical exam to check for any problems that were not found at birth.

  
  

• 1 year or 2–2.5 years: A health and development review may include questions about your child's eyesight.

  
  

• 3–4 years: A more complete eye exam to ensure normal vision development.

  
  

• 4–5 years: Vision screening at school to check for reduced vision in one or both eyes.

  
  

• 8, 10, 12, and 15 years: Vision screening should occur at these ages.

  
  

If your child has any of the following, you should consider an eye exam by a specialist:

• Family history of eye problems, especially genetic eye diseases
• Signs of misaligned eyes, lazy eye, or nearsightedness
• A red, swollen, or cloudy eye

  
  

If your child has special health care needs, they may be at a higher risk for vision disorders and should receive an eye exam from an eye care professional.
