Vision for a Lifetime – Family Eye Care by the Decade

Your health is something that should remain a priority from childhood to your senior years, and a huge part of that comes with regular eye care. Throughout growing pains as a child, to teenage puberty, your quarter life, and senior years, your eyes are constantly changing.

Your family’s health starts with seeing clearly, and that means regular comprehensive eye exams at every life stage. At Eyesight.sg, we provide comprehensive, age-appropriate care for everyone from preschoolers to seniors. Let’s explore what that looks like across the decades:

Infants & Toddlers (0–5 Years)

Even the youngest eyes need attention. In the early stages, newborn babies can’t see very much at all and only start developing colour vision at around 8 weeks old. However, babies should have their first eye exam around 6 months old.

Early screenings can detect issues such as lazy eye (amblyopia), crossed eyes (strabismus), or developmental delays. Regular check-ups help ensure your child’s visual system is developing properly, which is essential for learning and motor skills.

School-Aged Children (6–18 Years)

Children rely on their vision for 80% of their learning. That’s why annual exams are essential. Kids may not know how to describe visual issues like blurry vision, poor focus, or double vision. We screen for myopia (nearsightedness), eye tracking problems, and offer treatments like myopia management or vision therapy when needed.

Young Adults (19–39 Years)

Between college, work, and screen time, digital eye strain is on the rise. This age group may need glasses or contact lenses for the first time. Digital eye strain and dry eyes are common at this age. These two issues are often connected. Ask us about blue light protection, and we can also give you ergonomic tips and lens coatings that help with visual comfort.

Adults (40–64 Years)

Presbyopia (difficulty seeing up close) is a natural part of aging and usually starts developing around 40 years old. Bifocals, progressive lenses, or reading glasses can help. Regular exams are critical to monitor for early signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or cataracts, which often develop without noticeable symptoms.

Seniors (65+)

Senior eye care focuses on preserving independence and quality of life. Comprehensive exams detect and manage age-related conditions like macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma. We provide treatment options and work with you to maintain clear, safe vision.
