Well traditionally a child will not see an eye doctor until they are getting ready to attend school. However, my eye doctor mentioned a program called InfantSee that offers free eye screenings to infants 6-12 months. This program enables doctors to discover things such as infant glaucoma, eye tumors and lazy eyes, in hopes of proactively treating them. I definitely too advantage of this! I encourage any new parents to look up eye clinics in your area to see if they offer this program too! (No I am not getting paid to write this, haha).

| What are they doing back there? |
So Cam went to the clinic on April 5th for his first eye exam! Cam was a trooper and sat in my lap while she ran a series (pretty extensive for an infant) of tests. She used lots of little figurines (He loved Elmo) to help with the tests. She said he was the easiest baby she's worked with, mainly because he loved looking at the light where most babies tend to look away. She had no trouble adding the drops to his eyes either! Ha, what can I say he's a strange one :)
