Eye LibraryChildren Dr. Moison and Dr. Nurani recommend that children have their first vision assessment done by the ages of 2-3 years, then yearly afterwards. At this age we are able to assess the health and development of the eyes. The main reason for such a young age is to diagnose the particular condition amblyopia or "lazy eye". Lazy eye can only be effectively treated before a child reaches 5 years of age. After this point, unfortunately, despite corrective lenses, surgeries or laser intervention, a child would then remain with a lazy eye for life. Another important reason to see children at a young age is to offer options to slow myopia (nearsightedness) progression. These options are best discussed on an individual child's needs with Dr. Moison or Dr. Nurani.
