My son's blindness was found at a routine physical when he was 4 months old. He is now 16, in high school, and doing great -- when he's not being a typical annoying teen, that is. He's a Braille reader and a white-cane user, but he's in team-taught classes and more. Early interventions like this program can spot vision problems that need treatment and provide therapies and assistance for those that are permanent. Thanks for making this public!

He had adapted so well because he didn't know any better. I too thought I would be able to tell if there was something wrong with my child's vision, but oh was I wrong! Earned me a big fat bad mommy star for that escapade. I took my second son and got a clean bill of health, at least for now.

I had no idea this thing I've been struggling with actually had a name. I've had bloodwork done and been told that I'm too young to have these problems and it's 'perfectly normal'. I'll be asking my Dr. about it next visit for sure. THANK YOU!!! Thanks for the post at MM Reviews! I had no idea this thing I’ve been struggling with actually had a name.

I am the optometrist who presented the program to you bloggers, and the result has been significant increases in web traffic due to the interest that blog readers have in your compelling explanation of the program. We hope that by working to add an extra layer of eye assessment around the base-level screenings done by pediatricians that InfantSEE(R) will help detect infants with at-risk status so optometrists, ophthalmologists, and other medical specialists can monitor those infants before problems become permanent. If you have any need to contact me, feel free! Please tell your friends and family about InfantSEE(R) today!
