DS1 and I were at an event and we were talking about things on Saturday. I pointed out a sign and asked him about. He said he couldn't read it. Then, I played the "can you read that" game with him . Tonight, I printed out an eye chart just to get an idea. Obviously, I am not a professional - this was just to get an idea of where he was with a better approach than pointing out signs in a building . He ended up with 20/50 for the right eye and 20/40 for the left. Doing the same, I was 20/20 for both.
So, obviously, infants don't have 20/20 vision. But, when do they get there? DS1 turns 9 this month. Is 20/40 or 20/50 bad for a 9 year old? Should I take him to the ophthalmologist? We went last June because he was complaining of double vision when reading. Eye tiredness was given as the reason and we just limited night time reading for a bit. He hasn't complained in 6 months. No mention of any other vision problems and it was a well recommended pediatric optometrist. But, I don't know where he was on the chart, either.
Anyhow, should I make an appointment? Should I just wait for his 9 year physical and see what the ped says?
ETA: He says he can read the boards at school without a problem. He does well with all As in school.
