They can tell: Certain eye doctors can tell if a child has eye problems. The child doesn't even need to cooperate or need to follow directions. They use equipment to check the eye. This does not hurt the child. But you need to go to an eye doctor that is trained to be able to do this. Ask the office first before making an appointment, .

Developmental delay: Yes. Often ophthalmology is involved in ruling-out eye problems in children that, if present, can delay visual maturation. Sometimes the child may have a "lazy eye" or an eye that isn't straight or other conditions affecting the way the eye sees, such as a retinal problem. In the absence of eye problems, other possibilities are considered such as hearing impairment, dyslexia, etc.
