As a parent, your child’s health is likely very important to you. Many parents don’t know when to start taking their child to the eye doctor or how often. From the time your child is born, it’s important to have their eyes checked by an optometrist regularly.

Just like teens and adults, children must also focus on eye health. Unfortunately, many parents don’t know what age their child should start visiting the eye doctor. There are varying opinions between professionals, but we at Oklahoma City Vision recommend most children start to visit the dentist and receive their first eye test by the age of one.
