What's the earliest babies can get their vision checked?
What's the norm....?

For infants/toddlers, they are routinely "looked at" with a regular check-up
with your ped. As far as a real exam goes, it can be done at any age via
dilation, etc. As a parent of a toddler with vision problems, I urge you to
contact a pediatric opthamologist (not optometrist) *if* you notice problems.
For example, if one eye is crossing, etc. The earlier a problem can be
addressed, the larger chance it can be corrected vs. worsening to a
uncontrolled/surgical state.
