So, when is the perfect time for your little Cinderella or Buzz lightyear to see the optometrist? The College of Optometrists of British Columbia recommends that infants are seen for their first eye exam by 6 months of age. From the second your little munchkin is born; they are actively taking in the world around them. As they continue to grow and learn, yearly eye exams become very important. Healthy eyes and excellent vision will help them to reach that next milestone. But more importantly, nothing brightens our day more than seeing your littles walk through our door!
