It was covered by our insurance so I figured why not. Both DH and I have glasses. looch on "Has your LO had their vision checked?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-had-their-vision-checked#post-2319266 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:41:12 +0000 looch 2319266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We just had an appointment with an eye doctor, it was a full test and my son did great. He's almost 5.

Just as a little PSA for the mamas of babies, InfantSEE is a national (in the US) program where optometrists will do a free vision assessment between 6 and 12 months old: <a href="http://www.infantsee.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.infantsee.org/</a> tinyperson on "Has your LO had their vision checked?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-had-their-vision-checked#post-2319195 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:13:26 +0000 tinyperson 2319195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We went last month at 2.75. We both have bad vision and just wanted to get a baseline for her. She did much better than expected! mediagirl on "Has your LO had their vision checked?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-had-their-vision-checked#post-2319169 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:05:04 +0000 mediagirl 2319169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They started at 3 here. The nurse said it's pretty difficult at this age because their attention span is practically 0. She did well enough.

The chart has shapes/objects rather than letters. She got to a point where she couldn't see them and turned to me and asked for help ;) Bubbles on "Has your LO had their vision checked?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-had-their-vision-checked#post-2319163 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:03:28 +0000 Bubbles 2319163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No but he has a hospital appointment soon due to headaches, and I assume they will be looking for vision problems. Though how they do that in a not quite 2 year old I have no idea! jmarionsmith on "Has your LO had their vision checked?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-had-their-vision-checked#post-2319150 Wed, 14 Oct 2015 09:56:40 +0000 jmarionsmith 2319150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They did for the first time at his 3 year well visit. But it was kind of a "we'll see if he cooperates, if not, no big deal."

I think they started at the 3 year check-up?

Maybe this is something they do at 5 years old instead? I have bad vision but DH's is ok so I'm just curious if my kids will follow in my footsteps or his (let's hope his!)
