Welcoming a new baby is magical. As they grow, you get glimpses into the tiny person developing their interests, quirks, and behaviors. Health checks may fall by the wayside in the new parent fog. So, it is best to get ahead with a free InfantSEE assessment. It can help safeguard your cutie's sight from day one.
 

What Is InfantSEE?

InfantSEE gives all tiny tots aged 6-12 months a complimentary vision check-up. Optometrists trained in child care assess how your darling's eyes focus, move together, and react to light. The goal is to detect issues early so treatment can start before vision suffers.
 

Catching Problems Quickly Matters

Eyesight changes fast in little ones. Waiting until they are older risks irreversible damage. But infants cannot read eye charts. Instead, doctors check alignment, sharpness, and coordination by watching responses. It is painless, and most babies even find it fun.
 

Healthy vision is critical for growth, too. Babies rely heavily on sight, from hitting milestones to exploring their new world. Cloudy or distorted vision hinders development. So, safeguarding their eyes now prevents future struggles.
 

Booking Your Visit

Finding a pediatric optometrist near you is a breeze on InfantSEE's website. Many practices even reserve special infant exam slots. Call to book while remembering to mention it is through InfantSEE for the free assessment.
 

What Happens During the Appointment?

Fun lights and toy props keep most tiny exam takers entertained while doctors assess vision abilities. Responses to objects held in front and off to each side reveal how accurately their eyes work together. The tracking of movements determines coordination. No eyedrops or uncomfortable procedures are necessary.
 

Afterward, the optometrist explains if your baby's vision seems on track or if follow-ups are necessary. If treatments or corrections are needed, starting soon makes a world of difference.
