Ophthalmological examination of the infant. Developmental aspects

Relationship Between Anisometropia, Patient Age, and the Development of Amblyopia

“…Because amblyopia is thought to result from abnormalities in the visual cortex, the VEP should be abnormal, and this has been known for years. 78 The VEP abnormalities are related to the loss of high spatial frequency contrast sensitivity and can be marked in anisometropic amblyopes. 79 Recent studies, however, have focused attention on the anatomic location of the VEP abnormalities.…”

Vii-1 : Maturation Visuelle Et Électrophysiologie Pédiatrique

“…Pour un enfant normal né à terme, la maturation des globes oculaires est pratiquement atteinte à la fin des deux premières années, celle des rétines centrales à la fin de la quatrième année, la maturation de la myéline des voies de conduction ne se terminant qu'à la fin de la première décennie [Goddé-Jolly, 1992a], [Hoyt et al, 1982], [Lods, Fast, 1989].…”

Visual function in the brain-damaged child

“…One reason may be simply that the normal maturation of visual systems that occurs in normal infants allows residual visual potential in these brain-damaged children to become apparent over time. 153,154 Another is that the damage to the visual cortex and/or optic radiations is usually incomplete in these children. Thus, residual visual function can be attributed to the residual intact functioning visual cortex and radiations.…”
