Children should undergo a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/guide-to-childrens-eye-exams\/pediatric-eye-exams-2\/\">comprehensive eye exam<\/a> every year to see whether their vision has changed or if they have any underlying eye problems.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top questions parents have asked about their child\u2019s vision:<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q1: At what age should a child have eye exams?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: According to the American and Canadian Optometric associations, it\u2019s recommended that a child&#8217;s first eye exam occur between the ages of 6-12 months.<\/p>\n<p>After which, a child should return at the age of 3 or as directed by their eye doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Once a child begins school, they should undergo an eye exam annually.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q2: If my child passes their school vision screening, do they need an eye exam?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: Yes. School vision screenings are insufficient since they are only intended to detect a few visual problems, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/guide-to-pediatric-eye-conditions\/what-is-myopia\/\">nearsightedness (myopia)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Up to 43% of children can pass a simple <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/vision-for-school\/are-school-vision-screenings-effective\/\">vision screening<\/a> exam, even if they have vision problems,<\/p>\n<p>During a comprehensive eye exam, an eye doctor can assess a child&#8217;s eye and vision health, as well as visual abilities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/guide-vision-and-learning-difficulties\/the-17-key-visual-skills\/\">depth perception and tracking<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Because a child&#8217;s visual abilities are so important to academic success, eye doctors advise that children get an eye exam before starting school and every year after that.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Q3: What are the most common eye problems in children?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A: The most common vision problems for children are refractive errors, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/vision-therapy\/vision-therapy-for-lazy-eye\/amblyopia-lazy-eye\/\">amblyopia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/a-guide-to-eye-turns\/strabismus-crossed-eyes\/strabismus-faqs\/\">strabismus<\/a>, or vision loss.<\/p>\n<p>Children are more affected by refractive defects, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/guide-to-pediatric-eye-conditions\/what-is-myopia\/\">myopia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/guide-to-pediatric-eye-conditions\/what-is-long-sightedness\/\">hyperopia<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/childrens-vision\/guide-to-pediatric-eye-conditions\/what-is-astigmatism\/\">astigmatism<\/a>, than by other vision issues.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Astigmatism<\/b> &#8211; causes blurry vision at all distances due to an irregularity in the shape of the lens of the eye.
