A majority of children will not develop 20/20 vision until they are four to six years old. During those first few years, what should parents do to make sure their kids maintain healthy vision? Pediatrician Cindy Gellner, MD, explains vision screening expectations during the first years of your child's life, how to navigate school vision screening requirements, and when your child may need to see an optometrist.

Vision screening is one of the most important preventative health screenings that a primary care provider does at well visits.  But the infant eye exam can feel obtuse and complicated if you don't understand vision development, physical exam maneuvers, and red flags for referral.  Because of the risk of significant amblyopia if ocular pathology is left untreated, every pediatric provider should know how to complete an age-appropriate vision screening in an infant.

This episode covers the following topics:What an ophthalmologist is and how it's different than an optometristCommon pediatric eye conditionsWhen children start developing vision and how it evolves in the first few years of lifeThe importance of routine vision screening and identifying abnormalitiesAmblyopia (lazy eye)-diagnosis and treatmentStrabismus (eye misalignment)-diagnosis and treatmentWhat is vision therapy and is it ever recommendedCommon myths about healthy visionAbout Dr. Tehilla Steiner:Dr. Steiner is a fellowship trained pediatric ophthalmologist and adult strabismus surgeon. She specializes in the treatment of eye conditions in children.A native of New York and New Jersey, Dr. Steiner graduated from Yeshiva University, Stern College for Women. She obtained her medical degree at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Dr. Grover serves on the board of trustees for the American Optometric Association (AOA) and is the author of several AOA evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.
