InfantSEE
One comprehensive infant eye assessment at no cost, for babies generally between six and twelve months old, regardless of family income.
Best for
Any parent of a baby in that age window — this one is not means-tested.
Why Kave includes this
Conditions that permanently reduce vision are treatable in infancy and largely are not later, and a baby cannot tell anyone something is wrong. There is no income test at all, which is unusual enough to be worth saying twice: every family qualifies.
- Expected cost
- No cost, and no insurance is billed. One assessment per child.
- Insurance requirement
- None. Income and insurance are not considered.
- Who qualifies
- Infants generally between 6 and 12 months of age. No income requirement.
- Where it is available
- Nationwide (United States)
- How you use it
- In person
- Languages
- English and Spanish
Limitations Kave wants you to know about
- One assessment, within a narrow age window — after about 12 months the offer no longer applies.
- An assessment, not ongoing care: treatment for anything found is billed normally.
- Depends on a participating optometrist near you.
