Have they visited the eye doctor yet?

Nope.  So far there has not been a reason to.  When do they usually start to go when there are not any issues?

Yes - they both went just prior to age 1 for a once over.

The pediatrician also checks their vision and there has been no cause for concern warranting another eye doctor visit.

It is actually recommended they see an opthamologist or optemetrist prior to age 1 to check for issues that pediatricians can not/do no typically check for.

I believe after that point, it is based on an "as needed" basis.

I haven't noticed anything that made me think that they were having issues so I haven't taken them lol.

My son's first eye dr visit was at 10 months, second was at 2 1/2 years. We have eye conditions that run in my family so I want to catch it as soon as possible if he has it. So far so good. :o) 

The baby will see the eye doctor for the first time when he is around 9-12 months. 

That is great you are so pro-active!

A lot of parents don't know about the "infantsee" program which promotes the exact time frame you mentioned.....

We took advantage of the infantsee.org program for this purpose, for two reasons.

1.  That way I knew I was taking them to someone informed and educated on what to screen for.

2.  While we have good insurance, I did not have to even pay our copay.

One has, right before her 3rd birthday because we couldn't find out what was wrong with her. And the Dr had us go down a check list before doing major tests.

Yup! Since birth. He sees him yearly. My sons eye doc says they recommend they are seen before kindergarten, as long as there are no concerns before then.

Yes. They actually all had their yearly exam on Thursday.
We start at 1 year.
