FREE FREE FREE....no wonder we are were we are.

I do not support or participate in InfantSEE, but it's not because I am uncomfortable examining infants, as was suggested in the article. In fact, I love seeing infants.

However, I am uncomfortable taking on that risk and responsibility for exactly zero dollars and zero cents.

Ken, I agree.

I see a huge need for infant exams, but they should not be free. Make the investment in your kids to be successful get their eyes checked!

80-85% of all learning occurs through the visual system.

Estimates are that 20-25% of all children have a vision problem significant enough to affect learning. (percentage tracks with national drop out rate)

70-80% of juvenile delinquents fail comprehensive eye exams.

up to 90% of inmates fail comprehensive eye exams.
