OK, asking here turned out to be very helpful! Looks like I have more work to do...
Looking at the 30 question checklist (which is either super blurry or I need to see a vision specialist!), I'd say he only checks about 10 of those boxes, although I have no idea if he has blurry vision or double vision. It's not really the sort of thing I suspect he would be aware of/know to report.
He definitely does tend to hold reading material very close, or more accurately he sets it on a surface and then sticks his face right in it when he reads. He also seems to have trouble reading my computer screen and I always have to increase the zoom 3 levels. OTOH, he can read road signs before anyone else in the car, even those whose vision is corrected to 20/20 or better. He always impresses passengers with that skill!
I had a lazy eye as a kid and it was obvious. My mom did therapy with me, I remember a lot of ball bouncing exercises where I had to catch the ball on the way up as it came towards my face. I got to wear one of those oh so stylish patches as well. And in early elementary I was the only kid in my class with glasses, great big lined bifocals! My eye looks fine now, but I still have a large discrepancy between my eyes according to some weird cube thing the doc checked with a few years ago. I know I had a lot of trouble with double vision well after my therapy, into 2nd grade at least and much later when tired.
Just looking at my sons eyes they look fine to me. I'll have to try the figure 8 test though. I always use this site after bed or when he isn't here, I'll set myself a reminder on my phone
Thanks for pushing me to do what I should have just done anyway. I hope I can find someone really good who won't be a waste of our time.
