4 Ways to Help Your Baby's Visual Development
-
Schedule baby's first eye exam
Our InfantSEE eye care professionals recommend that your baby's first exam be scheduled around the time they are 6 months old.
-
Stimulate vision through play
Interact with your baby by playing visually interesting and stimulating games with colorful toys and moving objects.
-
Encourage exploration
Help your child explore their world. Encourage crawling, playing in a sandbox, reaching for and holding different toys and objects in their surroundings.
-
Watch for missed milestones
If your child's development seems to be unusually slow, speak to your eye doctor to see whether their vision may be part of the issue. Timely treatment may prevent future complications.
Our eye care professionals in Marysville know exactly what to look for to ensure that your child's vision is at its best. We at Marysville Vision are dedicated to helping them experience all the beautiful sights the world has to offer.
- First, a few questions…
Your baby’s first eye exam will start with the eye doctor asking you a few questions to learn about your baby’s personal and family health history. Was the baby born prematurely? Is there a history in the family of eye conditions such as astigmatism, myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness)? This information will help your optometrist know what things to look out for during the exam. - Checking your baby’s vision
Your baby’s eye doctor may choose to dilate their pupils to get a better look at the back of their eyes for signs of eye disease. They will also check for refractive errors and early signs of infection or malformation in the eye, evaluate your baby’s eyes for coordination, and rule-out conditions such as strabismus (crossed-eyes) and amblyopia (lazy eye). - Vision Correction and Treatment
If your little one is found to have a refractive error such as myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, special eyeglasses for infants will be prescribed. Your eye doctor will likely ask you to bring your baby in for further evaluation if they find indications of certain eye diseases or conditions that require treatment.
InfantSEE® FAQs
InfantSEE is a public health program, managed by Optometry Cares - The AOA Foundation. Its purpose is to make sure that family income and access to insurance coverage do not become obstacles to making eye and vision care an essential part of infant wellness. To that end, AOA member optometrists who are part of the InfantSEE program provide a no-cost comprehensive eye and vision assessment to all infants 6-12 months old.
Within 6-12 months of age. A child's visual development is most rapid and pronounced within the first year of life and is the period when the foundations of vision and visual skills are laid. If these foundations are undermined by vision conditions, eye diseases or refractive errors, it can have far-reaching consequences for the rest of your child's life. Thanks to the InfantSEE program, pediatric eye doctors can detect and treat these conditions, to ensure that your child's vision starts off right.
The aim of these screenings is to assess visual acuity (whether you have 20/20 vision), and are not meant to detect eye disease and other visual issues that would be found as part of a comprehensive eye exam with your local pediatric eye doctor. As a result, eye diseases such as cataracts or conditions such as amblyopia or strabismus are likely to go undetected, causing more severe damage the longer they go without treatment.

The people are definitely the driving reason behind Marysville Vision's high ratings. I also appreci... Show Moreate the open lobby/waiting area, lots of natural lighting, and spaced out seating so I always have a place to sit and have personal space. The wait times are never long, the exam is thorough yet efficient, and my prescription has never had issues.
The one time I had to return to get my glasses adjusted, it was a quick, easy & friendly walk-in process. They send reminders leading up to the appointment, which is helpful. The turnaround time for glasses was quick. While my glasses this year seemed more expensive, the optician Nicole answered my pricing questions clearly and did not push/upsell when I made a decision that worked with my financial situation (as it should be). When I told her about the frames I envisioned, she understood perfectly and brought over exactly what I wanted.
Nicole is always kind, patient, positive, helpful, and puts me at ease in a process where I've had opticians at other clinics act like salespeople and push brands, styles, and colors overriding the needs and wants I verbalized - especially when I just wanted to quietly browse alone. She respects my boundaries as a customer/patient and doesn't hurry me through a process that can be mentally and physically taxing.
Chelsey did the initial screening/intake exam. Chelsey was informative, helpful, professional, obviously experienced, and delightful. My appointment was early in the morning so I was still tired and loopy; Chelsey took it in stride and did the screening efficiently with the perfect amount of chuckles along the way. I've always been REALLY sensitive to anything near/around my eyes - especially eye exams - and Chelsey made it a positive, calm experience.
Dr. Good does a great job. He patiently listened to my questions, made an effort to get to know me as a person, didn't rush the exam, and also humored my morning brain fog comments and random oversharing tangents.
I've been a patient for a few years and plan to stick around.
