DS just had his eyes checked by an optometrist a couple of months ago, and his eyesight was normal (DD needed glasses, though!). Is there something more specific I should be asking about? He seems to see well in everyday life, although we will watch for eye problems (myopia and astigmatism in relatives).
If he appears to track well when he's reading aloud and doesn't miss words or lines frequently, his eyes are probably fine. Some kids have convergence insufficiency. I mentioned before how DS was in an accident and had a sixth nerve palsy so one of his eyes was "stuck" for months. I finally got him into a neuro-opthamologist (after he had basically recovered and his eye appeared to track again) and one of the things she did was watch his eyes when he read aloud. She noted that his reading was fluent and his eyes were tracking together, so decided that his eye is probably fine now.
