How often a child needs to visit the eye doctor depends on their vision health. If they are school age and have no problems, every two years is sufficient. If they wear glasses or contacts, a yearly visit is required to make sure that their glasses or contacts are working sufficiently and don't need to be strengthened. Children as young as 6 months old should see an eye doctor, another visit at 3 years old, and one more visit before preschool or kindergarten. The younger a child is when vision problems are caught, the more likely it is that their vision can be corrected.
