Guest guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I recommend this group as well. We saw Dr Ceisler at the Manhattan office and she was great.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I live in Florida amd both of my kids have autism. Each year I have them get an eye exam. The do,tor dialatez their eyes. Last year one if my sons had a terrible reaction from the dialation. He became very hyper and wouldn't sleep for several nights. I called out Dan Dr and he told me to check to se e if there was thermerisol in the drops. I got tbe labelz of all three drops used and there it was listed. I was so aurprised. The dr said he had never heard of any reaction to dialation before. I called a cmpounding pharmacy to see if they can make it mercury free but he said it couldn't be done. Has amyone had ny similar experience with their child? Sent from my Samsung Epicâ„¢ 4G mosense <mosense@...> wrote: >The best one I know of is Dr. Foreman at Westchester Medical Center.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Most of the Pediatric Neuro-Opthamologists I've heard of are associated with Childrens Hospitals. The one we use is in one of the best childrens hospitals, we were sent to him when my daughter was a baby because of her Hydrocephalus. He does eye exams as they relate to issues with her actual brain and if theres pressure on her eyes because of the Hydrocephalus. But I'm sure he does all the typical testing that kids would need. I took her to a " regular " opthamologist who treats adults and kids, and they just dont have the patience (LOL) that the PEdiatric doctors have. So now we just stick with him, he's a 45 min drive but worth every minute. Check the childrens hospital where you are and see if they have one there. > > I live in Florida amd both of my kids have autism. Each year I have them get an eye exam.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Unless your child needs surgery why would you take him to a pediatric ophthalmologist and not a pediatric developmental optometrist?

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Opthamologists are MD's and Optometrists are not. I'd take my typical kids to an Optometrist, but not my special needs daughter..I'd want that MD after their name. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=22559 > > > > > > Can anyone recommend a good pediatric opthamologist? > > > > > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > > > > > Aronson [cindyaronson@] > > > > > > > > > > > > _____ > > > > > > No virus found in this message. > > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > > > Version: 10.0.1153 / Virus Database: 424/3247 - Release Date: 11/09/10 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I agree, a child with special needs should see a pediatric opthalmologist. Both my Pdd-Nos children have been seen by a pediatric opthalmologist since infancy. My daughter has had 2 eye surgeries. We see Dr. MD of Long Island Pediatric Opthalmolgy & Strabismus in Port Jefferson NY and Plainview NY. Even though my son has no further vision issues ( they thought he had a misshapen optic nerve at birth) they told me that they would still serve as his eye specialist even into his 20's and same for my daughter. They are wonderful and travel all over the world as well to do eye surgeries on kids in underdeveloped nations. > > > > > > > > Can anyone recommend a good pediatric opthamologist? > > > > > > > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > > > > > > > Aronson [cindyaronson@] > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > _____ > > > > > > > > No virus found in this message. > > > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > > > > Version: 10.0.1153 / Virus Database: 424/3247 - Release Date: 11/09/10 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I will agree about the Opthamologist. If you have a child with language delay, they seem to be more capible of finding the issues that cannot be communicated. Ours is AWESOME, but in Missouri. My daughter has been in glasses since her first birthday, and has undergone one surgery.
