Most children, especially those who grow up in kindergartens, can recognize the vision chart after simple vision education at the age of 3. Qualified kindergartens should conduct a screening survey on their children's eyesight once a year. Parents can also buy a standard eyesight chart and hang it on a well lit wall to let their children recognize it at a distance of 5 meters. When checking, you must cover your eyes separately, not both eyes at the same time, so as to prevent monocular amblyopia from being missed. Check carefully several times repeatedly. If one eye's vision is lower than 0.8, you need to take your child to the hospital for further examination. It is generally believed that the examination should be carried out no later than 4 years old.
