InfantSee® at Nova Vision Center
At Nova Vision Center, we understand the importance of comprehensive eye care for individuals of all ages. While many adults regularly schedule eye exams to maintain their visual health, it’s equally vital to prioritize the eye health of our youngest patients. That’s why we’re proud to offer the InfantSee® program, a specialized service designed to ensure a bright start to your child’s eye health journey.
What is InfantSee®?
InfantSee® is a national public health program dedicated to providing no-cost eye assessments for infants between the ages of 6 and 12 months. Developed by the American Optometric Association (AOA), this program is committed to identifying potential eye and vision problems in the early stages of life, when intervention is most effective.
Why Early Eye Assessments are Crucial
Your child’s visual system is still developing during their first year of life. Early detection and intervention of eye and vision issues can significantly impact their future visual health and overall well-being. Undiagnosed eye conditions in infants can lead to developmental delays, learning difficulties, and even permanent vision impairment.
By participating in the InfantSee® program at Nova Vision Center, you are taking a proactive step to ensure your child’s visual health and providing them with the best possible start in life.
Our Expertise in Pediatric Optometry
At Nova Vision Center, we take pride in our experienced team of optometrists who specialize in pediatric optometry. Our professionals are trained to work with infants and young children, creating a comfortable and child-friendly environment to ensure a stress-free examination.
During the InfantSee® assessment, our optometrists will perform a series of non-invasive tests to evaluate your child’s vision and eye health. These tests are designed to be quick and gentle, causing minimal discomfort to your little one. Our goal is to make the experience as pleasant as possible for both you and your child.
What to Expect During an InfantSee® Assessment
- Visual Acuity Testing: Our optometrists will use age-appropriate methods to assess your child’s visual acuity, ensuring that their eyes are developing correctly.
- Eye Movement Assessment: We will evaluate your child’s eye movements and coordination to detect any abnormalities that may indicate underlying issues.
- Pupil Response: The response of your child’s pupils to light will be examined to identify potential neurological or optical concerns.
- External Eye and Lid Health: We will carefully examine the external structures of the eyes and eyelids to rule out any anomalies or signs of infection.
- Recommendations and Guidance: After the assessment, our optometrists will discuss the results with you and provide guidance on any necessary follow-up care or interventions if needed.
