A while back I wrote about the Infantsee program and how important eye exams are for children.  Well, two weeks ago I learned firsthand how much impact eye exams can have on a child's future.  A 16 month old child was brought into our office because his mother thought his eyes were crossing.  It turns out that he has advanced retinoblastoma in one of his eyes.  Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood malignant tumor of the eye that we never want to see.  The incidence in children is only 1 in 20,000, but it can be deadly.  It is rapidly progressive and easily spreads into the brain and other parts of the body.  When retinoblastoma gets detected earlier, there is a better chance of saving the eye and vision.  That is where the Infantsee program is so important.  The doctors at Primary Eyecare Associates provide eye exams to infants 6 to 12 months of age at no cost to the parent.  If you have a child, please go to www.primaryicare.com for more information on this truly life changing program.
