The organization notes 1 in 4 children in the U.S. has a vision disorder that needs to be diagnosed and treated. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Viola Kanevsky, an optometrist with Acuity NYC, says kids eyes&#8217; should be checked in infancy and then annually starting around ages 3 to 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just like they&#8217;re growing, their eyes are growing with them,&#8221; Kanevsky says.<\/p>\n<p>If caught early, some vision problems can be slowed or even cured. Kanevsky notes that cases of <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/whats-behind-the-rise-in-nearsightedness\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">nearsightedness<\/a><\/span> are up dramatically as <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/groundbreaking-study-examines-effects-of-screen-time-on-kids-60-minutes\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">kids use more screens<\/a><\/span> and electronic devices, and early intervention is important.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Age 7 is pretty much the end of a very critical period in a child&#8217;s visual development. And while it&#8217;s still possible to correct some things, it becomes much more difficult and a much bigger struggle and you may not get vision back 100%,&#8221; she told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Some parents may think a comprehensive eye exam is unnecessary when their children receive vision screenings at school.  But the AOA says school screenings can miss up to 75% of kids with vision problems.<\/p>\n<p>Kanevsky says comprehensive exams are often covered by insurance and take about an hour. She&#8217;s able to see inside the eye and get an accurate picture of not only vision but a child&#8217;s health. She also tries to turn an exam into a game for children who may be nervous.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a back to school test that can give kids a sharper, clearer future.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/eye-exam-childs-back-to-school-checklist-doctors-recommend\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why kids need back-to-school eye exams Parents should plan back-to-school eye exams for kids, experts say 01:38 Your back-to-school\u00a0checklist should<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is an eye exam on your child&#039;s back-to-school checklist?
