It may be tough getting a boy who is 10 months old to sit still. But with plenty of distractions that boy is getting his first eye exam from Dr. Sarah Bell.

"The first year of life is a really critical year of eye development. So, it's a perfect time to catch a problem early," said Bell

He is the getting the eye exam free of charge thanks to a program called Infant-See. Bell is one of the ophthalmologists taking part.

"We provide a no-cost, comprehensive visual exam to infants between the ages of six and 12 months," said Bell.

Some of the exam involves the same diagnostic tools used for adults but other tools like Buzz Lightyear and the other flashlights are specifically for testing kids.

"We look for eye diseases. We check for eye muscle problems. You can detect a lazy eye at that early of an age," said Bell.

Some vision issues like the need for correction can be pegged to within 95 percent accuracy.

"The sooner you diagnose it, the less problems they are going to have later on," Bell said.

One out of every 10 infants may have vision problems that can be corrected. Infants up to 12 months are eligible for free eye exams.

The program is backed by the American Optometric Association. The exams last about 20 minutes.

You can find a doctor near you who participates in the program by going to InfantSee.org.
