| Eye Exams |
A complete eye examination can detect health problems in the early stages of development, including: glaucoma, diabetes, hypertension, cataracts, and high cholesterol.
Although everyone should get an annual eye exam, it is important that children between the ages of 0 and 5 get their first exam by 6 months and then every three years, and that children between the ages of 6 and 18 get an exam before grade one and every two years thereafter. |
