At what age should I bring my child for their first eye test?
Newborn screening at birth; again at 6 months, 3 years, and school entry. Earlier if any concern (squint, discharge, nystagmus).
Is patching treatment for lazy eye permanent?
Yes — if started before age 8. After this critical period, the visual cortex is less plastic and outcomes are less predictable.
