DD 6 had also been tested by an opthamologist who found that she was farsighted, but she would grow out of it.
We later went to a behavioral optometrist who did the same tests as the opthamologist and additional tests for the tracking and processing issues. The behavioral dr. is great. Super smart and she talks fast, like me, so I liked her even more.
She didn't dialate DD's eyes either, they have a machine now that basically takes an image of the whole eyeball instead.
DD has been having therapy for visual perception issues which is how the brain sorts, stores and processes information that is taken in by the eyes. Totally different from being farsighted/nearsighted. Additionally, she has weak fine motor and was having focusing issues on top of being farsighted and now has corrective glasses for those issues as well.
We have been very happy with the progress she's made after a little over a month of biweekly sessions and daily practice.
We found our dr. at covd.org as well.
Good luck.
