eye question

Question
My son John Dattore , has been seen by both a ophthalmologist ,and optometrist ,both has told me that John has eyes that are both not working together. His teachers in school state that he has a tracking problem ,skipping lines when reading. both doctors they cant seen to find an eyeglass lens that could correct the problem ,do you have any suggestions what type of Doctor that he should see.

Thank you

Jaynie Simon


Answer
Dear Jaynie,



John needs to see a pediatric ophthalmologist who can put him in vision therapy and get this to at least near normal or normal with eye exercises.

Cannot comment on this I would need a diagnosis (medical) or his eye report to guide you better.

However, a pediatric eye doctor is a start.

Please seek one in your locality.
