Appointment with Opthomalogist Next Week - Questions to Ask?

[Guest guest]

Hi again, everyone!

Sorry to bombard with questions today.

We have an appointment for with our pediatric opthamalogist next week for,

I guess what we can call, a preventative/initial screening. I am actually the

one who instigated it (our ped rheum hasn't said anything about vision concerns

yet).

But our family has a history of eye issues (me - eye surgery twice for

strabismus, DS1 - twice for strabis/amblimyopia, and MIL has issues as well but

no surgery), and would have been screened at 2 anyways by our ped opth.,

so I figured I'd push up the exam.

Is there anything specifically I should ask her about, other than filling her in

on his JRA diagnosis and allowing her to take the lead on the examination? I

remember with DS1 and DS2 that at this age we were still seeing the occasional

signs of issues, but it wasn't until they were beyond 2 that it was clear that

DS1 had problems and DS2 had had his resolve.

Thanks everyone!
