At this age Dr.Benjamin will check for:    •    Congenital cataracts    •    Refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism    •    Eye teaming skills    •    Focusing skills The First Comprehensive Exam The next eye exam should be conducted between the ages of 3 and 4. At this time a child is able to give more subjective answers to questions which can provide more accurate feedback. Eye charts are used containing pictures, numbers or letters. Other tests involved include:    •    Visual Acuity    •    Depth Perception    •    Color Vision Along with these tests, Dr. Benjamin will check for congenital orders, lazy eye (amblyopia) and strabismus (misalignment of the eyes). Conditions, which are not urgent but require attention, occur when baby's eyes seem to move incessantly and if they do not look directly at a person. Preschool Vision Exam It is important for children to have an eye exam before starting kindergarten. Poor vision can affect how a child learns as well as their self esteem. A comprehensive children's eye exam should entail:    •    Eye health    •    Visual acuity    •    Proper eye alignment    •    Muscle function    •    Visual acuity If no visual correction is necessary subsequent eye exams should be take place every 2-3 years. For children who require glasses or contact lenses, eye exams should occur on an annual basis.
