Developmental Exams
For the patient with complaints beyond blurred sight. This evaluation includes all testing performed in a general vision exam as well as numerous sensorimotor (visual functioning) and perceptual (visual thinking) tests. Also includes a discussion of the impact of vision issues on underachievement in school, sports, reading or movement. Candidates for developmental exams often complain of one or more of the following:
- Intermittent double or blurred vision
- Delays in reading/writing development
- Headaches, neckaches, backaches resulting from sustained near-point activities (reading/writing/computer use)
- Fatigue after even short periods of near-point activity
- Clumsiness or poor eye/hand coordination
- Poor awareness during driving
Developmental Exams for Children: Typically scheduled as two visits. A 90-minute evaluation appointment is scheduled for the child with parent(s). Then a one hour parent conference is scheduled on a separate day to discuss the test results and treatment recommendations.
Developmental Exams for Adults: This 90-minute appointment includes both testing and consultation regarding the patient’s visual issues.
