[tri-med] Eye Questions

Hi everyone!
   
  Jackson has strabismus in his left eye.  We've been seeing an eye dr. at 
Children's Hospital since he was a baby and every year he tells us to come back 
in a year and does nothing.  I think the wandering is getting worse and I'm 
also concerned about his depth perception.  He trips over toys all the time and 
has trouble going from tile to carpet or tile to different patterned tile.  The 
dr. did say that he felt J was "far-sighted", but didn't recommended glasses or 
anything but "come back in a year".  
   
  I've decided to get a second opinion from a non-Children's dr, scheduled for 
May 6th.  What questions should I ask?  What can I do to make sure he gets what 
he needs?  Do I tell the new dr. that this is a second opinion appt or see what 
she says about his eyes first?
   
  Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks!
