The American Optometric Association recommends the following guidelines in scheduling eye examinations:
At-risk Adults 18-60 years old – Every 1-2 years as recommended by your doctor. Patients at risk include those:
Children Birth to 24 Months – At 6 months of age or as recommended if at risk.
Children 2 to 5 Years – At 3 years old or as recommended if at risk.
Children 6-18 Years – Before first grade and every two years after or as recommended if at risk.
Children considered at-risk for eye and vision problems may need additional testing or more frequent re-evaluation. Factors that may put your child at-risk include:
- Premature birth, low birth weight, oxygen at birth, grade III or IV intraventricular hemorrhage
- Family history of retinoblastoma, congenital cataracts, or metabolic or genetic disease
- Infection of mother during pregnancy (e.g., rubella, toxoplasmosis, venereal disease, herpes, cytomegalovirus, or AIDS)
- Difficult or assisted labor, which may be associated with fetal distress or low Apgar scores
- High refractive error
- Strabismus
- Anisometropia
- Known or suspected central nervous system dysfunction evidenced by developmental delay, cerebral palsy, dysmorphic features, seizures, or hydrocephalus.
