Neuroopthalmalogists and developmental/behavioral/functional
opthalmalaogists usually get functional vision much more than the other
docs. It's what they specialize in.
Very low tone kids often have problems with vision also.  I know while
reading is wonderful, handwriting is horrible (I could be a doc <grin>) and
I've known to take a tumble of two especially when the ears are infected, I
got a few scars and a broke camera to prove it.

    I asked a ophthalmic surgeon friend and he did not know. He thought it
had something to do with fusion which occurs around the 2nd to 3rd year. He
said to ask a neuroopthalmic guy. Docs are so specialized now you can't get
a
straight answer.
