eye question

Published

I just wanted to know your thoughts on this.If your son tested 20/50 on a school eye exam .You took him to a regular eye doctor like (luck optical) and he tested 20/20 on their machines.Would you go have a second opinion when you know your daughter took same test at school and she went to a different doctor and she needed glasses. would you go for a second opinion with such a big difference on eye exams.Just wanted a second opinion. Thanks:confused:

Absolutely see another optometrist. Too many things in life hinge on the ability to see properly.

Get a second opinion and have them do a dilated eye exam. The dilation helps the eye muscles "relax" a little bit giving a better result in children.

Not saying this is your case, but my daughter has wanted glassess for a few years. So at school, she would fail the exam. I would take her to the eye doctor and she would be seeing 20/20. With the dilated exam, it makes it harder for the kiddos to trick the eye doc.

hi,I just wanted let ya know I took him to a different eye doctor yesterday.As soon as they checked his eyes with the machine they could tell he needed glasses for the right eye just like the nurse said at the school.This place was so more professional then the other place all the way around.Thanks for your opinions.
