Last week we took Dane for his regular ophthalmology check-up. It’s a long and drawn out day but luckily we only have to go every six months now.
Whilst our visits are now pretty run-of-the-mill and uneventful, I thought it might help other parents if I jotted down some thoughts on visiting an ophthalmologist. There was certainly a time when it was extremely stressful – so hopefully this helps some other mums and dads out there.
Has your baby or child just been referred to an Ophthalmologist? Are you unsure exactly what that is, or what they do? Are you a bit nervous about your appointment and what this could mean for your baby/child? Let’s put your worries to ease and go over some basic info you need to know about Ophthalmologists and what you need to know before heading to your appointment. And don’t forget to take a breath, I’ve been there and this time can seem confusing and scary, but you can do it.
