Did you know that children under the age of 1 year can get FREE vision exams? InfantSEE is managed by the Optometry’s Charity, the American Optometric Association. With this program, AOA optometrists provide vision assessments within the first year of a child’s life.

Thanks to Engineer a Debt Free Life for letting me know about this great service! Here is a little more about their personal experience with InfantSEE:

We personally took our son to an InfantSee provider for a free InfantSee vision exam when he was about 9 months of age. The exam was very thorough, and the optometrist explained that the vision exam is basically as comprehensive as the eye exams done on adults. However, because they are working with children, they use totally different techniques. They use lots of fun activities and it’s amazing the information they are able to tell you by using a few simple techniques.

This sounds like a great program to help children. If you don’t have any children under age 1, please pass this information along since it may help someone else!
