[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t mind tracking up to Baltimore, Wilmer is really great. For what it’s worth, I am fascinated by the Stellest technology which looks like a real breakthrough - but I can understand not wanting to drop that much money! However, if you can save your kid a diopter of correction in adulthood, I think it would be worth it. A second opinion might help you make a decision.

OP: yes, there is my dilemma. i would spend the cash in a heartbeat if i didnt feel like i am getting scammed by people desperate for an advantage over their online cheap competitors.....[/quote]

Part of the challenge here is that growing kids always will out grow their frames (and lenses), meaning the crazy expensive lenses are a recurring high expense, not a one-time high expense.  I needed new frames every 12-15 months as a kid, and I am average size.

NOVA  Ophthalmology Associates is in Falls Church & Fair Oaks.  It has several Pediatric Ophthalmologists who were trained at Wilmer.  Closer than Baltimore.  Maybe try Nancy Morrison MD, who is a Pediatric Ophthalmologist who trained at Wilmer.

Forgot to mention earlier, try to take copies of all current and all prior eyeglass prescriptions to the appointment.  That helps the MD understand the rate of change in eyesight over time.  Just taking the current Rx gives them a single data point.  They can give better advice if they get a curve instead.[/quote]
