He is probably wanting them to diagnose something he does not have the equipment to diagnose.  My family has an eye condition that cannot reliably be diagnosed or treated by an opthamologist, it has to be handled by a specialist.

You absolutely want your child to be diagnosed by a pediatric eye specialist.  It is truly a specialty all in its own, and also, the sooner some situations are rescued the better.  Good luck to you and your daughter.
