(Another post about vision made me think of this program and I wanted to share for anyone with babies 6-12 months)

My sister is an optometrist and told us about the Infant See program back when LO was ~10 months. We were able to take her to a local participating eye doctor for a FREE full eye exam before she turned 1 just to make sure everything was okay (it was). It's not something we would have done otherwise, but since it was free and my sister recommended it, we decided to take advantage of it.

Here's the info and a list of participating eye doctors for anyone interested - I believe it's a nationwide program:
