Here’s the except from the book:

VISUAL ACUITY BY AGE

* FIVE YEAR OLD VISION: Refer to an ophthalmologist if a child’s visual acuity is 20/50 or worse at 5 years of age.

* SIX YEAR OLD VISION: Refer to an ophthalmologist if a child’s visual acuity is 20/40 or worse at 6 years of age.

* MNEMONIC: At 5 years of age, kids can see 20/50. At 6 years of age, kids can see 20/40. So it goes age 5, 6 = 50, 40. Also at age 7, 20/20 vision should be noted (7 looks like a 2).
