It's never too early to start taking care of your child's vision. In fact, pediatric eye exams should begin as soon as your child reaches 6 months old. Many parents wait until their children reach school age before they take them for an exam, but H. Arnold Papernick, OD, an eye doctor in Mt Pleasant, PA, believes the sooner the better. Join us today as we look into how young your child should be when receiving his or her first eye exam.
Your child has a family history of vision problems or if they show signs of poor vision, it's best to take them in sooner for prompt pediatric eyecare. Your child should undergo their first eye exam when they're only six months old. That way, if any vision problems are found, they can be treated right away. It also ensures optimum pediatric eyecare from the get-go.
Dr. Papernick is excellent with young patients. He has special charts exclusively for them. During a pediatric eye exam, Dr. Papernick will take a close look at your child's eyes to check for any signs of damage or disease. We'll also test their vision to see if they need glasses or contact lenses. The exam is completely painless and will only take a few minutes.
As any parent knows, kids are constantly growing and changing. Their vision is no different. That's why pediatric eye exams are so important – they allow us to track your child's vision development and catch any problems early on.
