Recognizes May 13-19, 2018, as InfantSEE® Week to promote awareness of children's vision care.

Notes that critical vision development occurs in the first year of life and that one-in-ten children have undiagnosed eye and vision problems.

Highlights that one-in-thirty children will be affected by amblyopia, a leading cause of vision loss in people younger than 45 years.

States that undetected vision problems can impede classroom learning and increase societal costs through developmental and behavioral difficulties.

Acknowledges InfantSEE®, a partnership between the American Optometric Association and Johnson & Johnson's Vision Care Institute that provides free eye assessments for infants aged 6-12 months.
