<p>By Lt. Niko O. Vahamaki, O.D., Naval Hospital Beaufort.<br><br>"During my usual comprehensive eye exams here at Naval Hospital Beaufort, I am often asked by patients when children should have their eyes checked. While there is no set standard, a good rule of thumb I advocate is a minimum of two times before starting elementary school. Ideally, children should have their eyes checked at six months to 1 year of age and again between 5 and 6 years."<br></p>
