Team of Eyecare Professionals Designs DVD for Developing Infant Eyesight
Visual Development Foundation announces the newest arrival to the infant DVD market, BabyEyes™. BabyEyes™ DVD features doctor designed animations, combined with music from Grammy Award winning composer, Michael Sembello, to captivate and entertain babies. This DVD is the first and only DVD designed by optometrists and ophthalmologists using the latest in vision science research to promote proper visual and mental development in babies.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (PRWEB) July 23, 2005 -- The Visual Development
Foundation has created BabyEyes™ DVD to help develop good vision in infants and
young children.
The Visual Development Foundation is a team of
ophthalmologists, optometrists, artists and vision development professionals
headed by Drs. Steven Newman, Eric Radzwill, and Martin Roche. Their goal is to
optimize visual development in infants and young children by applying current
vision science research to techniques and tools for visual and mental
stimulation. “This is a first of its kind, new generation of infants products
created by doctors who know best the visual and developmental needs of
children,” says Dr. Radzwill, one of the company’s founders.
BabyEyes™
DVD was made because babies are born with a poor sense of vision, which requires
stimulation and environmental clues to develop properly. Current infant DVD
products on the market do not address these concerns, do not properly stimulate
vision development, and mostly cannot be recognized by the immature infant
visual system. Regular television can cause attention deficit disorders in
children and should be avoided. “We call it guiltless TV,” remarks Dr. Newman,
“Every parent needs some free time to get things done around the house and now
they can feel good about what their baby watches.”
The group aims to
inform and encourage parents to be involved in their children’s visual and
intellectual development. They have written “Through My Baby’s Eyes” a
developmental guidebook which helps parents understand vision developmental
milestones, what baby sees, common eye disorders and warning signs as well as
visually appropriate toys and images for babies. The book is available for free
download at their website.
Additionally, the group will evaluate and
review infant and children’s toys for relevance to visual growth and suitability
for stimulating vision in infants and young children.
For more
information on BabyEyes™ DVD or “Through My Baby’s Eyes” a visual development
guidebook, contact Dr. Eric Radzwill or visit www.babyeyesdvd.com. The DVD
and book are currently available on the website and will soon be made available
through optometric and pediatric offices throughout the country.
