The eye examination in the pediatrician's office.

The visual system of children must be routinely examined by the pediatrician. Speed, skill and diagnostic abilities will increase quickly as the examination techniques described here are practiced on a daily basis. When parents recognize that the pediatrician is also concerned about their child's visual health and development, they will play a more active role in obtaining crucial family ocular history, note ocular changes that otherwise may be ignored, and, if indicated, participate in the referral and treatment process to avoid life-long visual consequences.
