    Am I the only childless person watching this? Every time I saw a baby wearing glasses I wondered what the procedure is and now I know, thanks 👍

    Thanks Doctor Small. I showed this video to my 3yr old son before heading to an eye Doctor. He got an idea of what to expect and how to behave. Your video eased our anxiety. May God guide you to the best.

    Thank you for this, we’re currently waiting for an urgent appointment for our 8 month old who doesn’t make eye contact or follow objects. His pediatrician said that he can only see lights. This helped me understand more what’s happening next

    Isn´t it better to use a mute toy to test the peripheral vision? Can´t babies tell the direction from which the sound is coming?

    having trouble following objects // text lines, with a permanent, twitching downward gaze was part of what got me diagnosed with cerebral palsy when I was 2. ultimately, i did not need glasses until I was 7-8 years old, but surprisingly, my neurologist & eye doctor prescribed a Nintendo, which really helped.

    When checking for VF , it's really hard to say that you're able to determine her peripheral vision with using an item that makes noise eg. Bell that jingles. That's when the auditory system kicks in. So how do you know she's looking in that direction because she hears it vs sees it?

    What's about children with nystagmus? My baby has this eye condition but she can follow objects, myself and lights..
    I've heard it is not so good to cover one eye with such babies, because the nystagmus increase...?

    When you try to check her prescription. I wonder how accurate that would be? Any possibility of misdiagnosis, or is it pretty unlikely?

  • @ogzbyrktr1
    @ogzbyrktr1 4 года назад +2

    Thanks for video! I want to ask that do you perform retinoscopy without cycloplagia? If it is so, is it reliable enough?

    • @ArmstrongSmallEyecareCentre
      @ArmstrongSmallEyecareCentre  4 года назад +5

      Cycloplegia would be the gold standard for getting the best results with retinoscopy with a child this age. Children this age have huge amounts of accommodation (focusing power) that can quickly alter your results if they decide to focus on you or the light rapidly. This has become less of an issue since we've been able to play a cartoon on our visual acuity screen. However, with experience, you'll be able to tell if the accommodation is affecting your results. Dry retinoscopy will also give you a good sense if the prescription is high one or if the two eyes are very different. If we see this on dry, then we'll have the patient back for "wet" (cycloplegic) retinoscopy testing. We'll also do this if our dry results just aren't making sense or if we're having troubles for a variety of reasons that one can run into while performing a children's exam. Great question - thanks for asking!

    How do you know that she’s not just following the sound of the toys?

    • @SLPtoMD
      @SLPtoMD 6 лет назад +1

      Sandra Greer My guess is the point at which she looks in the direction of the toy would be inconsistent. Whereas, she looked when it reached the typical angle of peripheral vision.

    • @sandragreer7556
      @sandragreer7556 6 лет назад +1

      LaurenAlexandra711 ok. Thanks for the input. I’ll never be to old to ask questions and learn something new.
