Visual assessment in children pediatric
ophtalmology (prevention by premature diagnosis)
• Age Groups:
• Infants <1 y
• Toddlers 1- 4 years
• Children : 5 – 14 years
• Adolescents: 15- 17 years
• Adults > 18 years

2.
Visual Assessment in Children pay
attention:look for pediatric ophtalmoloist
• Pupil size, ligth reaction
• Ocular Motility
• Red Reflex
• Child Observation

3.
Contrast sensitivity
• Sensibility to perceive sligth colour changes

4.
Vision Assessment prevent by premature
diagnosis
• Optometry:Distance visual assessment
• Refratometry
• Ophtalmoscopy
• Optical Choerence Tomography

5.
Factors that affect visual acuity
• Refractive errors, glaucoma and retinopathy
• Pupil Size
• Adaptation of the eye
• Illumination

6.
Visual Assessment (tests)
• Distance Visual Acuity ( snellen chart)
• Near Vision

7.
Distance Visual Acuity

8.
Standart Test Distances
• Distance Visual Acuity: 6m or 20ft is
equivalent to optical infinity
• Near Vision : 40 cm.

Visual Scales snellen and (MAR) minimum angle
resolution

12.
Distance vision
• Two points can be visible when they are
separated by a angle of 1 minute in nodal
point of the eye.
