INFANTSEE^® PROGRAM

InfantSEE® is a no-cost public health care program, developed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness, improving a child’s quality of life.

Through InfantSEE®, optometrists provide a one-time, comprehensive eye and vision assessment to babies in their first year of life, usually between the ages of 6 and 12 months. This assessment detects potential eye and vision problems at no cost, regardless of income or ability to pay.

The InfantSEE® Program’s Mandate:

1. Identify and treat risk factors that may have adverse effects on eye and vision health.
2. Reduce the impact of amblyopia (presently 1 in 30) and other conditions that may lead to impairments and/or loss of sight, or affect a child’s spatial and cognitive development, through early identification.

3. Educate parents about the importance of eye care for their children.
