what age should a baby go to the eye doctor
At birth, your baby's eyes should be examined for signs of congenital eye problems. These are rare, but early diagnosis and treatment are important to your child's development. Between the age of 6 and 12 months, take your baby to your doctor of optometry for his or her first thorough eye examination. Your optometrist will test for many things, including excessive or unequal amounts of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism and eye movement ability.
