Pediatric Eye Exams FAQs for Orange Patients
When should my child have their first eye exam?+
The AOA recommends the first exam at 6-12 months of age, then at 3 years, and annually once school starts.
My child passed the school screening. Do they still need an exam?+
Yes. School screenings miss up to 60% of vision problems, including farsightedness, astigmatism, and eye coordination issues that affect learning.
How much does a pediatric eye exam cost?+
A pediatric eye exam costs $150–$300 without insurance. Most vision plans cover annual pediatric exams with a $10–$25 copay. Medical insurance covers exams when a medical concern is present (headaches, eye turn, learning difficulties). FSA and HSA funds are eligible.
What signs indicate my child needs an eye exam?+
Watch for squinting, sitting too close to screens, frequent headaches, tilting the head to see, losing place while reading, avoiding close-up work, eye rubbing, or one eye turning in or out. Any of these warrants an exam even if a school screening was normal.
