Why are InfantSEE® eye exams important?
Healthy vision is crucial for your child’s overall development. Many vision problems can begin at a young age, and identifying these issues early can make a significant difference in your child’s visual development and overall health. The American Optometric Association recommends that babies have their first eye exam between 6 and 12 months old. Early eye exams can catch problems before they become bigger issues. Getting ahead of these problems can help prevent delays in your child’s development and make treatments more effective.
What to expect during an InfantSEE® eye exam
During the exam, we’ll take a close look at your baby’s eye health, checking for common issues like crossed eyes (strabismus), lazy eye (amblyopia), and vision problems (like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism). We use baby-friendly techniques to keep your little one engaged and comfortable during the exam. After the exam, we’ll explain what we find and give you tips on how to support your baby’s vision development at home. If we spot any issues, we’ll discuss the next steps and treatment options.
