    Solutions for corrective vision can occur at any age. But what about more serious vision conditions like Amblyopia, commonly referred to as “lazy eye”. Amblyopia occurs when a child’s vision does not develop correctly in one eye and if left uncorrected, becomes permanent because the brain has to compensate. The good news is, Amblyopia is preventable, if caught early in a child’s development.

    Eye Department and Dr. Annie Bacon have developed a proprietary Infant Wellness Program, EYE HEART BABY, to evaluate the health and vision of infants to reduce the risk of vision loss and facilitate proper vision development. EYE HEART BABY is a 20-30 minute exam to ensure their eyes are working together and developing properly. The exam rules out any abnormalities, looking for signs of amblyopia, “lazy eye”, crossed eyes “strabismus”, and signs of near/farsightedness. Between six months and the age of two, children undergo a vital period of visual development.  If Dr. Annie finds abnormalities, eye care treatment can be initiated to seek a positive outcome.

    EYE HEART BABY is typically a $199 service fee. However, Eye Heart Baby; infant wellness program is available FREE to children and grandchildren of patients at Eye Department. Eye Department believes it is important to provide critical vision saving information to our patients. For children and grandchildren of patients at Eye Department, Dr. Annie Bacon will cover the cost of the program for any children between 3 months and 2 years of age. Appointments are required and space is limited. You can schedule an Eye Heart Baby exam by calling 503-227-0573.

  • Due to the time in schedule and consideration of staff resources, 48 hours is required for any rescheduling. An $80 No-Show / Late Rescheduling Fee may apply.
