Clay Praises Optometric Professionals for Offering Free Eye &Vision; Exams for Infants Early Detection by InfantSEE Program Can Preserve Vision for a Lifetime, Free Screenings Offered by Participating Optometrists from June 8th – 12th
06/09/09Washington, DC - Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay (D) Missouri, praised St. Louis area optometrists for their overwhelming support of the national InfantSEE program, which offers free comprehensive eye and vision assessment for infants between six to 12 months of age. The public health initiative, which is a partnership between the American Optometric Association Foundation and the Vision Care Institute, is designed to provide no-cost professional eye care for infants nationwide, regardless of family income.
The free program runs June 8th – 12th.
“Good vision is a precious gift that many of us take for granted, especially in young children. This wonderful program to screen infants very early in life will identify problems while they are still treatable, preventing vision loss and other health problems,” said the Congressman. “I want to thank the AOA and all the participating OD’s for providing this tremendous public health service.”
