InfantSEE

Your baby’s vision develops quickly during the first year of life and plays an important role in how they learn, move, and interact with the world. Even when a baby’s eyes appear healthy, certain vision or eye health concerns may not be obvious without a comprehensive infant eye assessment. InfantSEE is designed to help identify potential concerns early, giving parents peace of mind and helping children start life with the clearest, healthiest vision possible.

What Is InfantSEE?

InfantSEE is a program that helps parents access an early, comprehensive eye and vision assessment for babies between 6 and 12 months of age. It is designed to support healthy visual development by giving us an opportunity to check for early signs of vision or eye health concerns during a critical stage of growth.

The assessment is provided at no cost, making early eye care more accessible for families who want to be proactive about their baby’s vision.

The Importance of Early Vision Care

Many parents are surprised to learn that babies can have vision or eye health issues even before they are old enough to talk or read an eye chart. An infant may still track faces, reach for toys, or appear visually engaged while having an underlying concern that needs attention.

Early eye care can help detect signs of:

• Eye alignment problems, such as crossed or turned eyes

• Significant nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism

• Eye movement or focusing concerns

• Amblyopia risk factors, often called lazy eye

• Signs of eye health conditions that may need monitoring or treatment

Finding these concerns early can make treatment more effective and may help support long-term visual development.
