Apply a cycloplegic such as atropine to the eye to force the eye muscles to relax and focus as far away as possible. Then use a retinoscope to shine light on the retina and observe it while adjusting lenses over the eye.
And of course slightly older babies have ways of communicating without words! https://youtube.com/watch?v=84-Cuc-Tz2o https://youtube.com/watch?v=84-Cuc-Tz2o
- nommm-nommm 10y agoThanks for the information! Are you an opthalmologist by any chance? As far as babies being able to communicate in other ways, my mom noticed that it seemed like I was having trouble with vision well before I could talk, that's how I ended up in the opthalmologist's office in the first place. :)
- tominous 10y agoI'm not an ophthalmologist but I did a lot of reading and talking to optometrists when I couldn't quite get a prescription I liked. It was one of the tests I considered. For what it's worth I solved my own issue by insisting on a slightly stronger prescription (-0.25) for my myopia. It's well worth a try, especially for driving at night. The easiest way to tell if it would help is if green traffic lights look significantly blurrier than than red traffic lights in the distance.
