4. Can w88 see better in the central field or on the sides? (Peripheral field)
5. What, if any, medical w88 condition does my child have?
   1. What are the causes of this medical w88 condition?
6. Is this a progressive/degenerative w88?
7. If the condition is a progressive/degenerative loss, w88 further visual problems do you anticipate my child having?
   1. If the condition is a progressive/degenerative loss, how rapidly w88 one expect changes to occur?
   2. w88 symptoms might I observe that indicate a change in my child's visual functioning?
8. How well does w88 do at tracking a light or object?

    2. If "yes": a) w88 type of surgery?, b) why do you think surgery is necessary?, and c) when (at w88 age) should this surgery be performed?
12. w88 will my child's distance acuity be with prescriptive lenses (glasses)?
13. w88 does my child’s distance acuity actually mean in terms of usable vision?
14. w88 will my child's near vision acuity be with prescriptive lenses (glasses)?
15. w88 does my child’s near vision acuity actually mean in terms of usable vision?
16. w88 size print can my child distinguish or read, and at w88 distances?
17. How often should w88 wear his/her prescriptive lenses? At all times? For distance? Work only? For close work only?
18. What should we expect in terms of daily functioning (e.g., light sensitivity, w88 strain, fatigue, headaches, squinting, color blindness, lack of depth perception)?
19. w88 kind of lighting is best for my child (e.g., low, average, above-average intensity)?
20. If special lighting is needed, how w88 the lighting be positioned (overhead, at back, etc.)?
21. w88 restrictions, if any, should be placed on my child's activities (e.g., physical education)?
