When Should I have my<br />

Children’s Eyes Tested?<br />

Children may suffer from a variety of different eye<br />

conditions and diseases. Among the more common<br />

conditions are:<br />

• Focussing problems (refractive errors)- shortsightedness<br />

(myopia) longsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism<br />

(oval shaped corneas) and anisometropia (unequal focus<br />

between right and left eye)<br />

• Eye muscle problems - including squint (strabismus),<br />

convergence weakness, inaccurate tracking movements,<br />

nystagmus etc<br />

• Amblyopia (Lazy eye) - reduced vision in one or both<br />

eyes, often unrelated to eye disease. This is often caused<br />

by strong refractive errors or significant anisometropia.<br />

It is also a common side effect of strabismus.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are also a number of less common conditions<br />

including:<br />

• Eyelid and orbital diseases • Corneal diseases •<br />

Cataracts • Retinal diseases including blood vessel<br />

diseases • Neurological diseases with vision side effects<br />

• Ocular tumours or cancers • Iris and pupil<br />

abnormalities • Eye diseases secondary to systemic<br />

(general health) disease<br />

Some of these conditions will be congenital and some will<br />

develop during the early years of a child’s life.<br />

Some will be cosmetically obvious to parents, but some<br />

will be subtle conditions which will only be diagnosed<br />

accurately during a professional eye examination.<br />

Often an early diagnosis makes a big difference to the<br />

success in treatment of a disease or abnormality.<br />

We would recommend that children have their eyes tested<br />

at the following times:<br />

• at any time you are suspicious that your child may have<br />

a vision problem, strabismus or any kind of eye disease<br />

• early in life, as a baby, possibly by a paediatric<br />

ophthalmologist<br />

• prior to starting school, around age 4 years<br />

• every two to three years, as they go through their<br />

schooling<br />

• more frequently if problems or symptoms develop.<br />

This is especially important if there is a family history of<br />

eye problems, as many of these conditions have a genetic<br />

component.<br />
