Did you know:
Of the three to four million babies born every year in the United States, 1 in 20,000 has retinoblastoma,
1 in 25 will develop strabismus,
and 1 in 30 will develop amblyopia.
Did you know that it is recommended that a child has three comprehensive eye exams by the age of six, with the first one being between 6 and 12 months?
Cooing, sitting up, and crawling are signs that your baby is growing. Your baby’s vision has stages of development too, but the signs marking progress are not so obvious.
For many months to come, those little eyes will be the windows she uses to learn almost everything about her new world. It’s up to you to help her develop properly, and ensure that she sees her new world clearly and accurately.
Many eye conditions have no symptoms that can be identified by a parent or in a well-baby check-up. Early detection is the best way to ensure your child has healthy eyes and appropriate development of vision- now and in the future.
Come in and see our optometrist, a pediatric eye doctor and family eye doctor, to make sure your child is hitting his or her visual milestones.
InfantSEE, developed by the American Optometric Association and Johnson & Johnson Vision, is a public health program designed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness care to improve a child’s quality of life. We feel so strongly about the importance of healthy vision that we participate in this program and will provide a no-cost comprehensive infant eye and vision assessment within the first year of life.
