The doctor will want to know some important details about your child’s eye problems. Often these are questions you can’t answer right away without thinking about them first. Before you visit the eye doctor, it’s a good idea to consider the following:
- How did the problem develop?
- Was this something you or other relatives noticed, or was it only your family doctor or pediatrician who noticed it?
- Does your child seem to have a problem with one eye or both?
- If so, which one?
- What’s abnormal about their eye?
- Is it turning inward, outward, downward or upward?
- Is the problem constant or occasional?
- If it is occasional, does it occur during a particular activity?
- For example, does it happen more when you look up close, far away, to one side, or when you are tired?
- How long ago did the problem start, and is it getting better or worse?
- Do you feel that your child is seeing normally?
- Is his growth and development normal?
- If you have older children, it may be helpful to compare your son with his older siblings on this issue. Is she sitting up or did she take her first steps at the same time as her older sister?
