The convergent squint was the telltale that something was not right -
and the GP referred him to the Children's Hospital eye clinic. 

The specialist uses atropine drops to relax the eyes - gives 'that
space-cadet look'. Then they test the eye focal points and look for
astigmatism with a scope that both the doctor and patient look into.
This is not a terribly precise science, and their eyes change rapidly-
so the appointments are frequent. The annoying bit is when you get a
prescription change, and then they change it back at the next
appointment... 

Interestingly, he chose his own frames even then- he settled on the
second pair he tried on, and just would not wear any of the 5 or 6
others, even though we tried them all a few times and mixed them up
(yes, I just HAD to do the experiment!).
