The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends children receive comprehensive eye exams on a regular schedule that begins in infancy.
The first comprehensive baseline eye exam should be received by an eye doctor between the ages of 6 months and 12 months. The InfantSee program provides a one-time, no-cost eye and vision assessment for babies 6 to 12 months old.
A second comprehensive eye exam should be given before school to check for any conditions that could have long-term effects.
