It's very important for children and teenagers to get into the habit of having regular eye examinations. Shortsightedness can develop in their teens, and uncorrected vision problems can affect all aspects of their lives; their studies at school or university, their job and even their social life or ability to play sport. Children and teenagers are still growing and problems with their eyesight can develop at any stage. It is recommended that you schedule an eye examination at least every two years and even more frequently if you have a family history of eye problems.
