I don't why pediatricians don't do eye exams on babies or children during regular check ups. My daughter was turning one of her eyes in...that's why we had her checked. She had eye surgery at the age too.At the children's hospital...they don't put them on a stretcher or gurney...they bring out a big ol' wagon and the kids hop right in. She was just starting to talk....in the recovery room...she kept saying...boo, boo my eyes, boo boo my eyes. The doctor she goes to is world reowned (is that spelled right? who cares). He goes with operation smile and performs eye surgeries on children in third world countries. Thought of something else....you know the eye charts they have you read? When it is a child....it's not letters, it's pictures....so they show her the pictures first to see if she knows what the pictures are. One is a rotary phone...now she's maybe 3 or 4 when they do this....she has never seen a rotary phone....she says a camera. I look at the technician...she says...that's ok, no one's kid ever knows what that is.
