Be prepared for the neurologist to send you to a neuro opthamologist, or some type of opthamologist. In my daughter's experience an opthamologist is most likely to tell you to wait a year or so and see what happens.

Bring up the option of seeing a vision therapist or optomitrist instead and see what your neuro thinks of that. I don't know why exactly, but there seems to be a turf war between opthamologists and optomitrists. It's like seeing a surgeon vs. a chiropractor. Once tends toward medication and surgery while the other is more about non invasive, more natural treatments.
