[quote=Anonymous]DS's was covered at 80%, but he does have a cerebral palsy diagnosis. I don't know if that makes a difference. We went to Children's and saw Dr. Jafaar. He's got the personality of a rock, but he's good. The exam takes several hours, so bring snacks and something to do for both of you. Eyes will be dilated, and that what takes the longest. You can leave and come back while you wait for the eyes to dilate. They check distance, color blindedness, how well the eyes work together, depth perception, how well the eyes transition, movement, and tracking. They can adjust the testing for infants, as well as older kids. The only "scary" part is having the eyes dilated because it burns a bit. This is all done in one visit, but depending on what is found there may need to be follow-up visits. These are typically several months out. One thing to keep in mind is that scheduling an appt. can be a pain because these specialists fill up fast and tend to stay filled up.[/quote]
