he doesn’t necessarily HAVE to be seen by a pediatric eye doctor. after all he is 15 yrs old.
you live in a state where there is a world renowned eye hospital.
its called “wills eye” its located in philadelphia PA. its a 14 story building devoted to nothing but eyes.
you should check out their website. http://www.willseye.org/
If he is 15, I would think he is old enough you could branch out to any good eye specialist. I don’t think it would need to be pediatric at this point. Unfortunately I live in the wrong place to be of much help. Good luck!
At 15, he really is not a child (I know teenagers act like children;LOL).http://www.1lasiklasereyesurgerydrcaster…
search on “nystagma” within page. Q & A
Why not call these folks up and ask for a “referral” in your state/city?
