Questions to ask at a myopia consultation
A useful consultation should leave you clearer about the next decision.
Myopia means short-sightedness. If you are arranging a consultation for your child, bring current glasses and previous prescriptions if you have them.
Ask what the assessment shows, which options may be suitable and why. Ask what your child would need to do day to day and what follow-up would involve.
Discuss the complete cost, including anything outside the initial appointment. It is reasonable to ask about alternatives and take time to consider a proposed plan.
The right advice depends on your child’s assessment. General information on a website cannot tell you which option is suitable for them.
