Eye Specialist for Toddler. Recommendations?

Hi,

I have a few questions about my DD's eyes, (18months).

Does anyone have any recommendations for GP's specialising in eyes/opthamologists/optomistrists in Melbourne?

Thanks

if you think it is a vision problem, take her to a regular optometrist to get a referral to a Opthamologist and go from there. A GP will just handball you to one of them anyway.

Thanks Trillian :D,

that is exactly what I wanted to know, whether to bother with a GP or go straight for the specialist.

No worries :) You will still need a referral to see an Opthamologist though, but it's usually no hassle to get one I just took my DS to OPSM and they bulk bill too (the Opthamologist however, does not ;) )
