Children’s vision is not fully developed at birth. Therefore it is important to assess that VISION like all aspects of child development is developing appropriately for optimal child growth and cognitive
development.
The American Optometric Association recommends a CHILD’S FIRST EYE EXAM be at 6 months and follow up exams at 3 and 5 years of age.
Illinois LAW REQUIREs all entering KINDERGARDNERS receive an eye exam prior to October 15 of each school year.
School aged children should receive yearly vision evaluation to assure vision skills meet increasing visual demands as a child progresses from grade to grade.
Children who are not meeting increasing academic visual demands by falling behind or struggling in school should undergo a FUNCTIONAL VISION evaluation to detect potential of LEARNING RERATED VISION Disorders.
