Get eyes examined: Have a pediatric ophthalmologist exam the child's eyes. That way you will not continually worry. It is probably nothing but I am always to favor of being thorough in a situation such as this.

Spot: An ophthalmologist is equipped to examine the eye for any pigment that could be abnormal.

Depends: This can be tricky. I always believe that parents know their children best. But i also hesitate to second-guess other physicians. Given that your pediatrician has already examined your child, and if the vision seems normal, then waiting may also be appropriate. Always do what you feel is best for your child, but consider the time and cost of seeing a subspecialist.
