AB The  appropriate  ocular  history  will  vary  depending  on  the  reason  the  child  has  come  for  evaluation.  If  a  child  presents  for  a  routine  well-child  examination,  the  ocular  history  will  be  included  in  the  review  of  systems.  The  caregiver  should  be  asked  about  any  specific  eye  complaints.  In  infants  and  younger  children,  the  examiner’s  questions  should  include  whether  the  child  appears  to  see  normally,  if  there  are  any  abnormal  eye  movements,  or  if  there  are  any  visible  abnormalities  of  the  eyes  or  periocular  structures.  Older  children  may  be  questioned  directly  regarding  subjective  symptoms,  including  blurred  vision  (difficulty  seeing  the  blackboard  at  school  or  objects  that  friends  or  family  members  can  see  easily),  double  vision,  or  other  concerns  regarding  vision  or  the  appearance  of  the  eyes.
