At birth, your baby's eyes should be examined for signs of congenital eye problems. These are rare, but early diagnosis and treatment are important to your child's development. Between the age of 6 and 12 months, take your baby to your doctor of optometry for his or her first thorough eye examination. Your optometrist will test for many things, including excessive or unequal amounts of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism and eye movement ability.
Children should start getting eye examinations as soon as they are born. Initially, these exams are performed by the pediatrician or primary healthcare provider as a part of a routine well-child visit. They are aimed to detect structural abnormalities of the eye or problems with eye alignment. As a child gets older, emphasis should be placed on checking visual acuity. For most children, this can be done around age 3 to 4 but, at minimum, should be performed by age 5. This exam can be done by an ophthalmologist, optometrist, pediatrician or other primary healthcare provider.
