The most effective way to prevent eye diseases in children is to conduct an early examination, early detection and early treatment. It is recommended that children with a family history of eye diseases should be examined for about 3 months. Some special conditions need a detailed eye examination even earlier- such as low-birthweight and premature babies. Children without a family history of eye disease should undergo a comprehensive eye examination including assessment of visual function and eye development before 2 years of age.
