August has been designated Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month. As parents begin to schedule those end of summer health appointments, it’s important to remember to include an annual eye screening. Your children’s eyes should be regularly examined during pediatric, well-child visits beginning around the age of three. These screenings may help detect refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism as well as other diseases.
