InfantSEE™ is a public health program designed to ensure
that eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness
care to improve a child's quality of life. Under this program, which
was initiated in the Summer 2005, our member optometrists will provide
a comprehensive infant eye assessment within the first year of life
as a no cost public health service.
The American Optometric Association encourages parents to include
a trip to the optometrist in the list of well-baby check-ups. Assessments
at six to twelve months of age can determine healthy development
of vision. Early detection of eye conditions is the best way to
ensure your child has healthy vision for successful development—now
and in the future.
