A member asked:
What are some good questions to ask the neuro-opthalmologist about my 17 month old's diagnoses of acquired nystagmus? any tests to request besides mri
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't request MRI: Let the doctor make the decisions about testing. That's why you're going to a doctor in the first place. You're not going to a restaurant and ordering off a menu. It's not about what YOU want, it's about what's best for your son. Let the doctor decide on the appropriate diagnostic algorithm. Would you like someone who doesn't have your training to tell you how to do YOUR job?
