Your Baby’s Developing Vision and Great River Eye Clinic
Cooing, sitting up and crawling are signs that your baby is growing. Your baby’s vision has stages of development too, but usually there are no signs to mark the progress.
Great River Eye Clinic is part of a nationwide public health program called InfantSEE, where optometrists provide a one-time, comprehensive eye assessment to infants in their early years of life, offering early detection of potential eye and vision problems at no cost regardless of income.
Public health experts agree that visual development is most dramatic between 6 and 12 months of age and that early detection can prevent and help reduce the threat of serious vision impairments.
During the assessment, infants typically sit on their parent’s lap while the optometrist uses lights and other hand held objects to check that their eyes are working together and that there are no significant refract issues that will impede proper vision development.
Early detection of eye conditions is the best way to ensure your child has healthy vision for successful development – now and in the future.
