Check out the eyes!

Please, people, no pictures!

At 9 months, I took my dear son to see an optometrist. Why? Well, no reason, really. I had read that it was highly suggested that an infant's eyes are checked at around 6 months, but my pediatrician made no mention of this so I didn't really sweat it. And then one of the ladies at the parent education class I take mentioned that she was referred to a free program to have her child's eyes checked called InfantSEE. So I figured if it's free, why not?

I took him to see Dr. Wang at the South Pasadena Optometric Group, and she was amazing with him (and me). I found it extremely interesting how she examined his eyes -- baby versions of an adult eye exam. Lucky was really sweet through the entire thing and even let them dilate his eyes and put sunglasses on afterwards with no issue. And the exam really was free. I had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend all parents take advantage of this program, which is offered to infants from age 6 months to one year.
