For the Parent
Preparing for your child’s first eye exam is simple. Your child’s optometrist will ask about your child’s medical history before the exam begins. Be ready to provide information about:
- Medications
- Medical conditions
- Allergies
- Family medical history
- Your child’s primary care physician
For future eye exams, bring your child’s contact lenses or glasses to the appointment. If you have any concerns about your child’s eye health or have noticed symptoms such as headaches, squinting or watery eyes, let the optometrist know.
