I wanted to let you know about my experiences with the Infant See Program and the eye doctor I took him to.
I heard about the Infant See Program through the local Moms Like Me. It is a program that offers FREE eye exams for infants till one year of age.
I highly recommend you take advantage of this free program. It is important to catch any vision problems early as early detection of any eye conditions is the best way to ensure your child’s healthy vision both now and in the future.
The exam is free, short and non invasive. They have special tools designed especially for babies who of course cannot communicate how they are seeing. The exam was also fun for my little guy. The reason he had such a good time and was laughing had a lot to do with the doctor.
I took him to Dr. Michelle Staarmann of the Staarmann Family Vision Center. She was incredibly nice and made us both feel at ease. She played and talked to my son and made it fun for him. She did a through exam including looking at the back of the eye in addition to checking his vision. I highly recommend their practice even though I have never been to their office before. I assure you I will be seriously considering going there when I am due for new contacts.
The staff was nice and courteous and I had less than a three minute wait.
Can’t beat that.
Please take the time to look into the Infant See Program and Dr. Staarmann's practice. A little time invested now can mean the difference in how your child sees the world.
Oh, and by the way my son’s vision is normal with no problems detected. I feel relieved and with one less thing to worry about. That’s a nice feeling.
Take care.
