Doctor offering free infant care

The optometrists of Smoke Vision Care are just three of the more than 7,000 optometrists nationwide who have been actively participating in InfantSEE, a no-cost public health program developed to provide professional eye care for infants. Doctors at Smoke Vision Care and participating optometrists will provide a one-time, comprehensive eye assessment to infants in their first year of life, offering early detection of potential eye and vision problems at no cost regardless of income.
“I’m very proud to be involved in InfantSEE to ensure healthy vision for our community’s infants,” Dr. Brenda Smoke said. “We have served many infants already through the program but there are so many new parents who are unaware of this program.
With May being the national celebration of Healthy Vision Month, sponsored by the National Eye Institute, and the week of May 10-14 recognized as InfantSEE week by the Michigan Optometric Association, we thought it a good time to help get the word out.”
