Q. What types of tests are done during a function vision evaluation?
A. Testing performed by a developmental optometrist differ from a general care optometrist. During a functional or developmental vision evaluatin, the doctor and a therapist will test for vision skills and visual processing proficiency. Then the tests are scored and put into a report spreadsheet which the doctor will go over during a separately scheduled consultation.
Q. How long does the evaluation last?
A. The testing typically lasts about 90 minutes. The report consultation may last between 30 and 45 minutes.
Q. Can I be present for my child's testing session?
A. We encourage one or both parents or a caregiver to observe the testing session.
