Thanks Doctor Small. I showed this video to my 3yr old son before heading to an eye Doctor. He got an idea of what to expect and how to behave. Your video eased our anxiety. May God guide you to the best.
Thank you for this, we’re currently waiting for an urgent appointment for our 8 month old who doesn’t make eye contact or follow objects. His pediatrician said that he can only see lights. This helped me understand more what’s happening next
Thank you from a new Opthalmic technician working at a Pediatric Opthamology clinic. I'm comfortable with ages 4 and up but we've been seeing lots of patients
having trouble following objects // text lines, with a permanent, twitching downward gaze was part of what got me diagnosed with cerebral palsy when I was 2. ultimately, i did not need glasses until I was 7-8 years old, but surprisingly, my neurologist & eye doctor prescribed a Nintendo, which really helped.
When checking for VF , it's really hard to say that you're able to determine her peripheral vision with using an item that makes noise eg. Bell that jingles. That's when the auditory system kicks in. So how do you know she's looking in that direction because she hears it vs sees it?
"Oh, should I have turned it on...?" 😂😂😂 Already mastered the Dad jokes... But thanks for the insight, I've always wondered how doctors determine what glasses a toddler needs...
Sandra Greer My guess is the point at which she looks in the direction of the toy would be inconsistent. Whereas, she looked when it reached the typical angle of peripheral vision.
Cycloplegia would be the gold standard for getting the best results with retinoscopy with a child this age. Children this age have huge amounts of accommodation (focusing power) that can quickly alter your results if they decide to focus on you or the light rapidly. This has become less of an issue since we've been able to play a cartoon on our visual acuity screen. However, with experience, you'll be able to tell if the accommodation is affecting your results. Dry retinoscopy will also give you a good sense if the prescription is high one or if the two eyes are very different. If we see this on dry, then we'll have the patient back for "wet" (cycloplegic) retinoscopy testing. We'll also do this if our dry results just aren't making sense or if we're having troubles for a variety of reasons that one can run into while performing a children's exam. Great question - thanks for asking!
What's about children with nystagmus? My baby has this eye condition but she can follow objects, myself and lights.. I've heard it is not so good to cover one eye with such babies, because the nystagmus increase...?
I have 2 month baby, is there any excercise to get to know about check baby visulisation as I notice that baby start listening but I still not got any sign of visualization. Could please suggest some way to get to check visualization or should I wait for some more month.
Am I the only childless person watching this? Every time I saw a baby wearing glasses I wondered what the procedure is and now I know, thanks 👍
im here for the same reason 🤣 knowledge is power, even if it’s useless for the time being lol
Bro same we are so random
Literally typed this in because I wanted to know how they get that baby to tell them they can’t see 😂😂
That’s what brought me here 😂😂
same 😭

What happened in the end? How are things?
Kenzie is really cute, and i always wanted to know how do they check a baby's eyes
Isn´t it better to use a mute toy to test the peripheral vision? Can´t babies tell the direction from which the sound is coming?
Been wondering about this FOREVER. Only video I can find directly breaking this down.
This video is so helpful, thank you doctor
Aww, what a cutie. She did really well.

Lovely video. Favorite part was right at the end when Dr. Small was telling his patient how well she did.
My child they says he doesn't see well, can he be made to see

Huge thanks for making this video. Brief and very informative.

My fiance and I's son is gonna be having his first ever eye exam at 8 months old
You have my sympathy.
Thank you!
Using a Retinoscope.
Very informative, thank you
She’s perfect 🥰
Thank you doctor. Can u upload a video of geriatric optometry
adorable baby
beautiful family
amazin doc
fantastic video!
the T-shirt
Incredible work!
When you try to check her prescription. I wonder how accurate that would be? Any possibility of misdiagnosis, or is it pretty unlikely?
How did you check for visual acuity? U didn’t check the visual acuity which is the main examination
Thanks for the educative video, great approach to the patient! :)
You are great with kids
You need dynamic retinoscopy
How do you know that she’s not just following the sound of the toys?
Sandra Greer My guess is the point at which she looks in the direction of the toy would be inconsistent. Whereas, she looked when it reached the typical angle of peripheral vision.
LaurenAlexandra711 ok. Thanks for the input. I’ll never be to old to ask questions and learn something new.
I think He should use something which doesn't make noise to check exclusively the vision
My parents didn't know I needed glasses until I was in 2nd grade lol
Hi sir may I asked about my baby he is 11 months old but now no want to see anything..what is the problem of my baby eye
Thanks for video! I want to ask that do you perform retinoscopy without cycloplagia? If it is so, is it reliable enough?

Awesome job doc!
God bless you and World bendiciones amen❤
Cute baby
Do you drop them before the encounter starts or after pre-tests?
What if your 2 yr old is screaming the whole time ??
I have 2 month baby, is there any excercise to get to know about check baby visulisation as I notice that baby start listening but I still not got any sign of visualization. Could please suggest some way to get to check visualization or should I wait for some more month.
