Infantsee – Your Childs First Eye Examination

This may come as a surprise to many of you, but your child’s first real eye exam by a doctor ( the pediatrician doesn’t count) should be within the first year of life. Yes, we admit that optometry has been remiss about getting the work out. The dentists have done a much better job than optometry in educating their patients about the proper time for checkups. Considering the importance of vision in the learning process it behooves parents to ensure their child’s vision by having regular eye examinations beginning at age one. At this stage, we can catch excessive or unequal amounts of farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism to help prevent amblyopia and crossed eyes. Vision development and eye health problems can be more easily corrected if treatment is begun early. Nasa Vision Center does eye exams for every member of the family.
