The Importance of Children’s Eye Exams

Your child’s eye exams are essential because their eyes are constantly growing. While your child develops many visual skills with age, there’s always the risk of eye conditions developing. An undiagnosed eye problem can affect your child’s school performance, social interactions, and self-esteem.

The tests we complete during your child’s eye exam help us identify eye problems as early as possible and recommend a treatment plan to help them enjoy clear, comfortable, healthy vision.

Eye Exam Frequency

Your child needs several eye exams as they grow to help ensure their vision is functioning well and to help detect any eye issues. According to the Canadian Association of Optometrists, your child’s eye exams should follow this schedule:

Their first exam between 6–9 months old
One exam between ages 2–5
Annual exams from 6–19
