This is a great public health program!
InfantSEE offers AT NO COST a thorough eye exam/screening by an eye doctor for children 6 mo - 1 year of age.

Unfortunately, during the course of their young lives, most children probably never see an eye care practitioner who can provide the kind of professional eye assessment necessary to identify critical eye and vision problems at an early stage, explain those conditions to parents, and provide the care necessary to correct those problems. This means most of us will not know our children have a vision problem until they are squinting or having learning difficulties in school.

I have taken my children to see local optometrists thru this program and thankfully, haven't had any cause for concern. I intend to have them checked regularly, especially since my husband has some eye health issues that I hope they don't inherit.

Go to the website for more information and to get a list of local optometrists in our area: http://www.infantsee.org/ I hope others find this as helpful as I did.

I wish i knew about this 7 months ago.My sons now 19 months old.But atleast i know they will check them at such age.
