[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 332001, member: 1991"] Ah, then yes, we have seen one and in general, he was very helpful. I referred other people to the same bloke. I had a student (after-school coaching) who I picked up fairly quickly, had a problem finding the relevant information in a word problem. She could manage the subject matter well once she knew exactly what she had to do, but extracting the information she needed from a block of text was what was slowing her down. So I told her mother to take her to the same optometrist that difficult child! had been referred to (and who eventually saw all of us except husband who has his own optometrist through work). The mother took her daughter to a local optometrist instead, thinking that anybody would do. The local one said the girls' vision was OK, she tested within normal range. I said to the mother,"If that is correct, then the bloke I referred you to will draw the same conclusion. But I suspect he won't. She had to wait a few months (public insurance reasons) and then took her daughter to the behavioural optometrist. And he found the problem I'd seen, prescribed glasses and suddenly the girl began to do better in school. I lost her as a coaching student of course, because she no longer needed me. I was fine with that, I would rather not be needed. I was glad to see her do well. difficult child 1 had a problem in Coding in the psychometric testing. So did easy child 2/difficult child 2. difficult child 1's psychologist referred us to this particular behavioural optometrist (only the "behavioural" word isn't used). I recognised the name; I remembered him as a student, he was always extremely thorough and exact in his work. (Plus he had been amazingly handsome, I was curious as to how well he'd aged.) Well, the specs he prescribed for the kids were very helpful for all of them. He picked up that difficult child 1 was gaming a lot and as a result his eye muscles were toeing in too much. He prescribed "Magic Eye" books as exercises for him. I also needed someone thorough to do my prescriptions, the eye specialist I'd been seeing for years had made a few mistakes now and then and when my specs cost $1000 a pair, I can't afford any mistakes. So I switched to him - and found that I have had fewer problems. There are limits to what these guys can do, but if you've not experienced what they CAN do, you will be amazed. (And my bloke is still handsome, but now in a Frank Langella kind of way. Plus the pale skin because he doesn't get out in the sun as much as he did when a student - it increases the elegant handsome vampire look. His wife is his receptionist, I fancy she'd look good in an underwired nightdress). Marg [/QUOTE]
