Is Eye Check Up Required In A Child Suffering From Lazy Eye?

Hello. I have question for lazy eye. My son is 10 years old and he has lazy eye on left eye. I was wondering he still need to check up his eye every year with Ophthalmologist or it is okay to check up with just regular eye center(like Costco). His vision was not much changed past 2 years.

Hello. I just read through your question. Though recovery from lazy eye at this age is unusual, it's still better to be seen by an ophthalmologist. The eye centers frequently mishandle these types of things.
