InfantSEE Program This MonthDr. Scott Caughell is participating once again in the national InfantSEE program this month.
May is Healthy Vision Month, and in conjunction with that Caughell is one of many eye doctors around the state that are providing this Well Baby check.
Through this program optometrists provide a no-cost vision and eye health assessment for infants 6 to 12 months old.
Caughell is one of only a few post-doctorally trained optometrists in the state in pediatric eye care.
Since his times as a resident, Caughell said the eye health of small children has been important to him."It's so important to check for things like big prescriptions in one eye, eye disease," said Caughell. "Eighty percent of learning is visual."
The process itself takes just 10 minutes, although there is another 10-minute wait as the child's eye dilates.
Caughell's office is at 3505 N. Ind. 15, Warsaw.
