VISION CARE / PEDIATRIC

Healthy vision starts early.

Up to 80% of what children learn in their first 12 years comes through their eyes. Catching vision issues early — and managing conditions like progressive myopia from the start — can shape a child's entire educational and developmental trajectory.

EARLY EXAMS MATTER

When should children have their eyes examined?

0–6 months

First eye exam. Yes, really. Rules out major issues.

​

3 years

Second exam. Generally can get a good idea of how the visual system is developing.

Before kindergarten

Third exam. Make sure your child is visually ready to learn.

​

Annually

Through school age and adolescence.

​

Vision screenings can miss up to 75% of children with vision problems. Passing a screening does not replace a comprehensive pediatric eye exam.
