SUMMARY:Learn about Examining Infant Patients with InfantSEE
DESCRIPTION:Join the AOA and AOSA to learn about examining infant patients at Optometry’s Meeting in Minneapolis\, this June.  During the InfantSEE Workshops\, students will learn best practices\, tips\, and tricks for examining infant patients. A doctor of optometry will present a short\, 15 minute presentation on the InfantSEE program and a general overview of an infant eye exam\, followed by breakout sessions where students will see in-person demonstrations and also practice their own skills on an infant patient. \nVisit the Attendee Center on the Optometry’s Meeting website to register today.  Spots are filling up FAST!\n  \nAbout InfantSEE ®: Establishing a Lifetime of Healthy Eyes and Vision \nCooing\, sitting up\, and crawling are all signs that a baby is growing. But\, did you know that a baby’s vision has stages of development too? Signs marking vision development are often less noticeable even to parents\, teachers\, and other health care providers. That’s why the American Optometric Association recommends scheduling an infant’s first eye exam around six months of age\, immediately after the eye undergoes rapid and profound changes and is therefore most vulnerable to interference with healthy development. \nInfantSEE\, a public health program\, managed by Optometry Cares – The AOA Foundation\, is designed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness care to improve a child’s quality of life. Under this program\, AOA member optometrists provide a no-cost comprehensive eye and vision assessment for infants 6-12 months old regardless of a family’s income or access to insurance coverage. \nWhile many parents may think that a vision screening is enough\, a study funded by the National Eye Institute found that even the most sophisticated vision screening tools\, administered by the most highly-trained vision screeners\, will miss one-third of children with an eye or vision disorder.[i] InfantSEE provides early intervention using necessary specialized equipment and procedures – which are not available as part of most vision screenings. During an InfantSEE assessment a doctor of optometry will test for excessive of unequal amounts of nearsightedness\, farsightedness\, or astigmatism\, eye movement ability\, eye health problems\, and discuss patient and family history. Comprehensive eye and vision care is important to detect problems early to ensure babies have the opportunity to develop the visual abilities they need to grow and learn. \n \n  \nRead about an optometry student’s perspectives on InfantSEE here.
