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 />
