Choosing An Eye Doctor
By Patricia S. Lemer, M.Ed., NCC
Executive Director, Developmental Delay Registry (DDR)
...Pediatric Optometrist or Pediatric Ophthalmologist?
How to choose an eye doctor for a child
who is having problems with learning, reading and behavior or
who has been diagnosed with LD, learning disabilities, developmental
delays, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (attention deficit hyperactive disorder, adhd, AD/HD,
hyperactive), dyslexia or autism.
A parent recently asked why I recommend
that her child be examined by a pediatric optometrist rather than
a pediatric ophthalmologist. The answer comes from my understanding
of these two types of eye doctors and my personal experience.
Both types of eye doctors examine and
prescribe glasses, diagnose and treat eye disease, and can evaluate
how well a person uses the eyes together. However, each profession
is unique.
Ophthalmologists are trained to
do surgery. I credit one with saving the eyesight of my daughter,
who at age five sustained an eye injury. Optometrists are schooled
in the functional (or developmental) aspects of vision. They are
more apt to use lenses, prisms and vision therapy to enhance and
improve visual function. These interventions often improve children's
visual, academic and other abilities.
