Throwback Thursday: InfantSEE Week Emphasizes Importance of Infant Vision

infantsee-proclamation-pic1aGood visual health plays an important part in an infant’s development and overall wellbeing. For that reason, a proclamation, signed in the Senate on September 15, 2014, designated the week of September 14-20 as “InfantSEE Week” in Pennsylvania. 

 Launched in 2005, InfantSEE is a public health program managed by Optometry Cares – The American Optometric Association’s (AOA) Foundation. InfantSEE optometrists provide no-cost eye exams to children between the ages of six months to a year. The Eye Institute (TEI) is a proud participating provider of this national program.
