Home eye tests for children

It is possible for your child to have a serious vision problem and not know it.


Vision problems that are left undetected and untreated may lead to vision loss and in some cases blindness. Early detection is the key to minimizing vision loss.

Prevent Blindness America offers the following home eye tests:

Distance Vision Test for Younger Children

Distance Vision Test for Older Children

Note: Before you give any home eye test to your child, you should know the difference between a home eye test, a certified vision screening, and a professional eye exam.  Please review our Guidelines for Children's Vision for more information.
