According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam with an Optometrist at 6 months of age. I generally recommend an exam from birth to 2 years old if there is suspicion of a problem or a family history of a problem. Children then should receive additional eye exams at 3 years of age, and just before they enter kindergarten or the first grade at about age 5 or 6.

For school-aged children, the AOA recommends an eye exam every two years if no vision correction is required. Children who need eyeglasses or contact lenses should be examined annually, or according to their eye doctor’s recommendations.
