AOA InfantSEE: A Free Eye Exam for Your Baby

When it comes to your child’s health, vision care often gets overlooked in the first year of life. Parents focus on pediatric checkups, vaccinations, nutrition, and sleep routines, but what about their baby’s eyes? The American Optometric Association (AOA) created the InfantSEE program to change that. This nationwide public health initiative ensures that every infant in the United States can receive a comprehensive eye exam between 6 and 12 months of age at no cost to the family.

Let's explore why the InfantSEE program exists, how it works, and why early eye exams are so crucial for lifelong vision and development. We’ll also highlight Dr. William To, one of the leading InfantSEE providers in both the Bay Area of California and Juneau, Alaska, and how families trust him with their baby’s first eye exam.

How To Cure Blindness with A Tooth In Your Eye

Imagine waking up one morning and realizing the world around you is gone. Your eye can not see any colors, no shapes, no light, just endless darkness. For people living with severe corneal disease or trauma, this is reality. They lose the ability to see the faces of their loved ones, the glow of a sunset, or even the pages of a book.

But what if the solution to blindness came from something as unlikely as a tooth? This is the extraordinary story of Tooth in Eye Surgery, a medical breakthrough that sounds like science fiction but is changing lives. Officially called osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis (OOKP), this procedure uses a patient’s own tooth to restore their Vision. It is one of the most remarkable examples of how science, technology, and human ingenuity can come together to fight blindness.

Vision of Influence: How TOM FORD Eyewear Redefine Authority

There’s a moment, before a handshake, before the first word is spoken, when people form their first impression of you. In that split second, your presence is defined by what you project. Tom Ford eyewear was made for that moment.

Tom Ford doesn’t design for the ordinary. He creates for the individual who commands attention without raising their voice, someone who understands that confidence is as much about how you carry yourself as it is about how you see the world. Every frame in the Tom Ford eyewear collection is a declaration of personal style, an emblem of sophistication, and a tool of precision vision all in one.

With Tom Ford eyewear, you’re not just wearing glasses, you’re making a statement. Whether it’s the iconic “T” emblem at the temple, the fearless shapes that push past conventional boundaries, or the luxurious feel of materials chosen for both comfort and style, every element is meticulously crafted for the modern tastemaker.

This isn’t just about seeing better, it’s about being seen.

Before the School Bell Rings: Empower Learning With Better Vision

The countdown to a new school year has begun. Backpacks are being filled, lunchboxes are getting packed, and schedules are coming together, but amidst the rush of school supplies and calendar prep, there’s one vital item many parents overlook: their child’s vision.

Imagine this: your child is sitting in the front row, struggling to read what’s on the board. The letters blur, the numbers don’t make sense, and the headaches begin by mid-morning. Yet no one, not even your child, realizes their vision is the problem. According to the American Optometric Association, 1 in 4 children has an undiagnosed vision problem that can interfere with learning. Poor eyesight can mimic behavioral or learning disorders, cause academic setbacks, and chip away at a student’s confidence, all without a word of complaint.

Now is the time to act.

In the next two to three weeks, millions of students will return to school. The best way to set them up for success? Start the year with a comprehensive eye exam. It’s more than a checkup, it’s a launchpad for academic achievement, confidence, and overall wellness.
