My daughter is 4. Does she have to be checked out for anything? I'm not worried about anything, because she seems to have better eyesight than me.
If she does, can you recommend anyone close to Bonavista?
Thanks!

I am in Southcentre Mall @ FYI Doctors Southcentre (beside sportchek) if that is convenient for you.

We had our daughter checked before she started Kindergarten. We were surprised to find out that she had a lazy eye, since she could easily see better than either of us, even with our glasses on. It turned out, she was basically only using one eye. She got glasses, and we have patched her good eye in the last couple of months, and now her poor eye is seeing much much better. According to the doctor, the correction is likely permanent, which is awesome. It's a good thing we had her checked, though.
