A couple of yrs back I took my daughter to get a MRI of her head cause she would get sezuirs when she was small and they told me that the only thing they found was that she has a problem with her vision which shes been using glasses since she was in 3rd grade. Now shes in the 7th grade but her vision is really bad cause she cant see a persons face thats standing about 10 feet away from her.
So my question is, is this normal or should I take her to her optomitrist and tell him about what they found in the MRI?

Hi, welcome to the ehealth forum and I am glad to help you.
You seem concerned by the possible deterioration in your daughter's vision studying in 7th grade.
You have also made a mention of past history of seizures in your daughter. But you have not clearly stated the report of MRI done 2 years back so it is difficult to comment on the nature of vision problem of your daughter. If the vision is getting bad, it is important to follow up with your ophthalmologist for thorough assessment before you meet your optometrist.
Hope this helps. Take care.
