Took DD (4) for her first eye test today. She is long-sighted (+5 and +4.50) and optician have asked GP to refer us on to hospital as even after the drops and lenses her vision wasn't what it should have been. My question is - why have we been referred to hospital? What will they check for? Is it whether she needs a patch? Optician said back of eye looked fine. She may have explained but it was a lot to take in and I was also feeling guilty that I hadn't taken her sooner. Bit worried.
