Cooing, sitting up and crawling are signs that a baby is growing. Your baby’s vision has stages of development, but they are rarely as visible.
Parents should include a trip to the optometrist on the list of well-baby check-ups between the ages of six to 12 months. Early detection of eye conditions is the best way to ensure your baby has healthy vision now and in the future.
InfantSEE®, a public health program, managed by Optometry Cares® - The American Optometric Association (AOA) Foundation, is designed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an important part of infant wellness. Under this program, AOA optometrists provide FREE comprehensive eye and vision assessments for infants within the first year of life regardless of a family's income or access to insurance coverage.
