My daughter, 6 yrs old, has had vision prob. since birth. at 12 mo. was dx as blind without known cause, by 12 months seh could see, still unknown cause. She has left and right strabismus surgery helped right eye but didn't help left. She has nystagmus, ambliopia, no or minimal depth perception, convergence insuff. exotropia, and is far sighted vision corrected is 20/40 left and 20/60 right. we have taken her to ped. opth. since birth and have always followed the patching sched. and other orders given us. she suffers significant developmental delay all gross motor skills were delayed as well as fine motor difficulties, speech was extremely delayed. she is on grade level with great difficulty in reading, has a one on one teacher aid and has been in special education since age 3. her ped. opth recently mentioned Occualar motor apraxia but doesn't support special education services so won't discuss it any further with us. I have looked up as much info online as possible but unfort. there isn't much avail. I am looking for a new ped. opth. but hate to switch drs as there is so much history to explain. anyway, recently I heard about vision therapy and from everything i read it sounds promising. I understand most opth. don't believe in this therapy, is it was hoax or is it worth giving it a try. I want my daughter to have every opportunity to advance in school and eventually get out of special ed. she is very smart and besides the vision problems causing her to have diff keeping up with reading and diff. tracking she is an A student. Please give me your oppinion.
