Children’s Eye Health – What Every Parent Should Know

Children’s Eye Health – What Every Parent Should Know

Children rely heavily on their vision for learning, playing, and exploring the world around them. Undetected vision problems can affect their ability to perform in school, participate in activities, and build self-confidence. That’s why caring for your child’s eyes early is so important.

Experts recommend that children have their first eye exam at 6 months, then again at 3 years, and once more before they begin school. These early checkups help detect issues such as farsightedness, nearsightedness, lazy eye, and other visual concerns that can hinder development.

Some common signs of vision problems in children include squinting, frequent eye rubbing, holding objects too close, or complaining of headaches. Left untreated, these conditions can become more difficult to correct over time. Early diagnosis and treatment give your child the best chance for a lifetime of healthy vision.
