At what age should my child first see an eye doctor?

At 6 months, again at 3 years, and before starting school. Earlier if you notice any concern.

Will my child outgrow a squint?

No. Squints need active treatment — glasses, patching or surgery — to prevent permanent vision loss.

Are children too young for glasses?

Even infants can wear glasses safely. Early correction is critical for normal visual development.
