The optometrists at Dr. Dean S. Steinberger, O.D. & Associates recommend that you bring your child for their first eye exam when they reach age 3. You can bring them in for an exam earlier if they show signs of vision problems or poor eye health.
You should also have your child’s eyes checked around age 5 before they start school. If your child doesn’t wear corrective lenses, they should have exams every two years. They should have annual checkups if they do need corrective lenses.
The team at Dr. Dean S. Steinberger, O.D. & Associates are also committed to infant eye health. The practice participates in InfantSEE®, a volunteer eye health program. As part of the program, they offer free eye exams for children up to 12 months old to make sure their eyes are healthy.
