An estimated one-third of all children have had an eye examination or vision screening before entering school. Approximately 11% or teenagers have undetected or untreated vision problems. Research indicates that the earlier a vision problem is diagnosed and treated, the less the possible negative impact it may have on the child’s development.

Early diagnosis and treatment of these underlying problems will lessen the possible negative impact on the child’s development. We recommend that all children have a professional eye examination by no later than the age of three years. Screenings simply do not satisfy this criteria, as more in depth testing is required.
