eye exams?

[angelsnight]

Are your M14 kiddos going to the eye doctor yet?

Google says they should go at 6 months, 3 years, and before entering Kindergarten but lots of people told me the 6 month check wasn't really necessary unless her ped suggested it which she never did and E has never had any issues with her eyes.

It's open enrollment for insurance so I need to decide if we should add her, or wait until next year....benefits start January 1st, and she'll be 3 in March, so I guess I should add her??

DD has not been.

I added her to my vision plan for this upcoming year...but mostly because it didn't increase the cost at all.

I'm surprised to see they recommend a visit at 6m even without a pedi recommendation.

Yes but only because of a medical issue that needs monitoring. We go every 6 months.

My eye doctor said the first visit should be at age 3. Both girls were tested in the pedi office at 6 months as part of their regular well visits. Dd1 also was tested there at her 2.5 year visit.

We haven't been yet and I don't recall her pedi bringing up a timeframe for it. They did a quick test at her 2 year apt though.

We haven't been. Honestly, I haven't even thought about it.

Thanks all, I just went ahead and added her. It didn't change the cost much, so I might as well take her this coming year.
