3 Things You Should Always Do and 1 You Should Never Regarding Your Child's Eye Health

The AOA recommends that everyone have a comprehensive eye exam every year — for children, their first exam should be done between 6 and 12 months old, and then every year from age 3 on.

A child's eyes change and grow a lot throughout their first year and then steadily through the school years, so make sure that you put "eye exam" on your back-to-school list so that your child goes into the classroom seeing well — you don't want your child damaging their eyes by straining to see the board!

Same thing goes for you, Mom — keep those beautiful eyes healthy with a yearly exam.
