InfantSEE
At Optique Family Vision Care, we believe healthy vision and eye health habits should begin at birth. That’s why Dr. Joseph Culp, O.D., proudly participates in the InfantSEE® program, a nationwide public health initiative offering no-cost eye assessments for infants between 6 and 12 months of age. This complimentary visit helps ensure your child’s eyes are developing properly—even before they can speak or recognize letters.
What Is InfantSEE®?
InfantSEE is a program managed by the American Optometric Association designed to detect early vision and eye health issues in babies. The exam is completely free to all families, regardless of income or insurance coverage. During this visit, Dr. Culp carefully checks for problems like excessive or unequal farsightedness, eye movement issues, and signs of underlying health conditions that could affect your child’s development.
Why Early Eye Exams Matter
Vision plays a vital role in how babies learn and grow. From reaching for toys to recognizing faces, much of your child’s early development depends on what they see. Many eye and vision problems don’t show obvious signs, which is why a professional exam in the first year is so important. Detecting and treating issues early can prevent long-term vision loss and help your child reach developmental milestones with confidence.
What to Expect During Your Baby’s Visit
Our goal is to make the InfantSEE experience smooth and stress-free—for both you and your child. Dr. Culp and our caring eye care staff create a welcoming, quiet environment to help babies feel at ease. The exam is non-invasive and gentle, using lights and engaging objects to evaluate how your baby responds to visual cues. We’ll explain everything we see and give you clear next steps, whether your baby’s vision is on track or needs additional care.
Family-Centered Eye Care That Grows With Your Child
The InfantSEE visit is just the beginning. As your child grows, we’re here to support their vision through every stage—from preschool screenings and pediatric glasses to myopia management and sports eye protection. Dr. Culp takes a personalized, family-first approach, ensuring your child feels safe and confident with every visit.
