Please visit any ophthalmologist (not optometrist or optician) first in case you don't have a pediatric ophthalmologist available nearby. The general ophthalmologist shall manage if it's routine refraction and also may refer accordingly if further management needed.
Health Tips
Don't delay an eye check up in this age as it is the developing stage and may have long term effects.
