Q1. At what age should I schedule my child's first eye care examination?
Ans : We recommend scheduling your child’s first eye examination at the age of 6 months This early examination helps detect any potential issues and ensures healthy visual development. Most children need their second eye examination at the age of 3 years before going to school. Once children are in school, it is best to schedule their eye examination once in 6 months.
