The eye develops rapidly during gestation and in the first years of life. During the 4th-8th week of gestation, the optic vesicle forms and invaginates to become the optic cup, which later develops into the neural retina and retinal pigment epithelium. The lens placode also forms during this time. After birth, the eye continues growing, with the axial length increasing most in the first year of life. The retina and visual cortex also continue developing postnatally. Proper development of the eye and visual system during these critical periods is required for normal visual function.
The document defines accommodation as the eye's ability to focus on near objects by changing the lens curvature. It describes how the ciliary muscle controls the lens shape by relaxing the zonules attached to the lens capsule. When relaxed, the elastic capsule makes the lens more convex to focus on nearby objects. The range and amplitude of accommodation are defined. Presbyopia and other accommodation anomalies like insufficiency, paralysis, and spasm are explained in terms of causes, symptoms, and treatments.

Binocular vision refers to simultaneous vision with two eyes that allows for a single unified visual perception. It develops through childhood and relies on the coordination of the eyes and brain. The development of binocular vision provides advantages like depth perception through stereopsis. Abnormal binocular vision can result in issues like suppression, abnormal retinal correspondence, or amblyopia. Assessing binocular vision involves tests for fusion, stereopsis, and retinal correspondence. Maintaining good binocular vision is important for visual development in childhood.
This document discusses accommodation, or the ability of the eye to focus on near objects. It defines accommodation and describes the three adjustments made: convergence of the eyeballs, constriction of the pupil, and an increase in the anterior curvature of the lens. The mechanism of accommodation involves the ciliary muscle contracting to relax the suspensory ligaments and allow the lens to become more spherical for focusing on near objects. The pathway for the accommodation reflex involves visual signals traveling from the retina to the visual cortex and frontal lobe, where efferent signals are sent to the ciliary muscle, sphincter pupillae, and medial rectus to enact the adjustments for accommodation. Presbyopia is described as the age-related loss

This document discusses several topics related to binocular vision and eye movements, including:
1) The requirements for stereopsis include binocular overlap of visual fields, partial crossing of nerve fibers between the eyes, and coordinated eye movements.
2) Panum's area describes the region of retinal disparity that creates the perception of depth. Objects within this area have binocular fusion while outside it there is diplopia.
3) Eye movements involve reflexes like the vestibulo-ocular reflex as well as voluntary movements that develop rapidly in infancy like smooth pursuit, saccades, and vergence.
Binocular single vision (BSV) allows us to perceive a single three-dimensional image from two eyes. BSV develops in infants from 1-6 months as they learn to fuse the images from each eye. For BSV to occur, the brain must fuse the slightly different images from each eye and the visual pathways must be normal. There are different grades of BSV including simultaneous perception, fusion, and stereopsis which allows depth perception. Abnormalities can cause double vision.

This document discusses optics and the image forming mechanism of the eye. It describes the main components of the eye that contribute to its optical power, including the cornea, aqueous humour, crystalline lens, and vitreous humour. Accommodation is defined as the mechanism that allows the eye to focus on near objects and the relaxation theory of accommodation is explained. Common optical defects like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism are also outlined as well as presbyopia.
The human eye allows us to see by forming an inverted real image on the light-sensitive retina. The main parts of the eye and their functions are: the cornea refracts light, the iris controls pupil size to regulate light, the lens focuses light onto the retina, and the retina contains light-sensitive cells that send signals to the brain for vision. The pupil regulates the amount of light entering by contracting or expanding. Common vision defects include near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism, which can be corrected using lenses. The eye's ability to focus on near and far objects is called accommodation.
The document provides definitions and descriptions of various medical terms related to anatomy and physiology of the eye. It defines types of vision conditions like emmetropia, astigmatism, esotropia, and exotropia. It also describes procedures like visual acuity tests, LASIK eye surgery, and branches of ophthalmology that specialize in different parts and conditions of the eye, ear, nose and throat.
The document discusses accommodation and the mechanism by which the eye changes its focal power to maintain a clear retinal image. It describes the theories of Helmholtz and Young which propose that accommodation occurs via a change in the shape of the lens. The key anatomical structures involved are the ciliary muscle, zonules, and lens capsule. Contraction of the ciliary muscle relaxes the zonules, allowing the elastic lens to become more rounded, increasing its refractive power. Several changes in ocular dimensions occur with accommodation. The process is controlled via parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation of the ciliary muscle. Accommodative ability declines with age.
The human eye allows us to see the world through refraction of light. It contains structures like the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina and optic nerve. Light enters through the cornea and passes through the pupil, where it is focused by the lens onto the retina. The retina contains light-sensitive cells that generate signals sent to the brain via the optic nerve, allowing us to see. The lens adjusts its curvature for accommodation to focus on near or far objects. Defects in refraction can cause issues like myopia, hyperopia or presbyopia later in life.
This document defines accommodation and its mechanisms in the eye. It discusses how the lens changes shape to maintain focus as an object's distance varies. It describes the types of accommodation including physical accommodation which is the ability of the lens to change shape measured in diopters, and physiological accommodation which is the ciliary muscle's ability to contract. The document outlines characteristics of accommodation like range and amplitude. It also discusses anomalies of accommodation such as excessive, insufficient, spasmic, and ill-sustained accommodation. Symptoms and treatments related to accommodation are provided.
This document provides an introduction to binocular single vision (BSV) including its definition, grades, advantages, development, mechanisms, anomalies, and investigations. BSV is the coordinated use of both eyes to see a single image through the process of fusion. It develops in early childhood as the visual axes align and fusional movements are established. Maintaining BSV provides advantages like stereopsis and binocular summation. Investigations of BSV assess fusion, retinal correspondence, suppression, and stereopsis.
This document discusses strabismus and sensory physiology related to binocular single vision. It covers topics such as retinal stimulation, the horopter, Panum's area, fusion, stereopsis, and sensory adaptations that can occur in strabismus including suppression, anomalous retinal correspondence, monofixation, and eccentric fixation. The document is intended to provide an overview of these topics for an ophthalmology resident.
Accommodation is the ability of the eye to focus on near objects by increasing the curvature of the lens. It occurs through contraction of the ciliary muscle which relaxes the suspensory ligaments, allowing the elastic lens to bulge and become more spherical. The range of accommodation is the distance between the near and far points, while the amplitude is the dioptric difference needed for focus. Presbyopia occurs due to weakening of the ciliary muscle with age, decreasing the near point. Treatment involves convex lenses to compensate. Other anomalies include diminished accommodation from aging, drugs, or pathology, as well as increased accommodation from spasm.
1. Binocular vision allows for the coordinated use of both eyes to perceive a single image through the fusion of slightly different retinal images. This provides advantages like depth perception through stereopsis.
2. Normal binocular vision requires clear vision in both eyes, the ability to fuse images, and precise coordination of eye movements.
3. Factors like retinal correspondence and Panum's fusional area allow for binocular fusion and single vision despite differences between the retinal images. Loss of these abilities can result in diplopia.

This document summarizes key differences between cow and human eyes. It discusses the external tissues, eye movements, cornea, refractive errors, corrective lenses, lasik surgery, iris, pupil, lens, accommodation, presbyopia, cataract, retina, color vision, optic nerve, blind spot, glaucoma, and causes of bloodshot eyes. Differences between men and women in terms of color vision deficiencies are also noted.
Binocular vision allows for spatial localization and depth perception through various monocular and binocular cues. It involves binocular overlap and coordination of the two eyes, with corresponding points on each retina providing a cyclopean view. Physiological diplopia, or the ability to see double, is useful clinically for assessing deviations between the eyes.

This document discusses common vision defects and their correction. It describes three main defects: myopia (nearsightedness), hypermetropia (farsightedness), and presbyopia. Myopia occurs when the eyeball is too long, causing images to focus in front of the retina. Hypermetropia is when the eyeball is too short and images focus behind the retina. Presbyopia is age-related farsightedness where the eye loses flexibility. Each defect can be corrected using different types of lenses - concave lenses for myopia and convex lenses for hypermetropia and presbyopia.
Convergence insufficiency is the inability to maintain binocular convergence without undue effort. It is the most common cause of eyestrain. It can be caused by refractive errors, presbyopia, muscle imbalances, or other factors like wide pupil distance. Clinical features include eyestrain in desk workers and blurred near vision. Diagnosis involves measuring near point of convergence over 10cm and difficulty maintaining 30 degrees of convergence. Treatment includes optical correction, orthoptic exercises to improve near point convergence and fusional vergence, relaxation exercises, and prism therapy. Surgical treatment is a last resort.
This document discusses suppression, which is one of the three mechanisms of sensory adaptation that occurs in patients with strabismus. Suppression refers to the active inhibition of the image from the deviated eye to avoid diplopia. There are different types of suppression depending on factors such as etiology, retinal area involved, constancy, and the eye affected. Several tests are used to diagnose suppression including the Worth four dot test, Bagolini striated glass test, and visual acuity testing. Treatment involves refractive correction, occlusion therapy, eye alignment procedures, and anti-suppression exercises.

ANATOMY & EMBRYOLOGY OF LENS- Dr. Anuj Pawar.pptxDrAnujPawar
The lens begins developing very early in embryogenesis. By day 25, the optic vesicle forms from the forebrain. By day 27, the lens plate forms, becoming the lens pit by day 29. On day 33, the lens vesicle forms. On day 35, primary lens fibers develop. By 7 weeks, secondary lens fibers form the fetal nucleus, which develops between 2-8 months. The lens capsule surrounds the entire lens. The lens contains an anterior epithelium layer and inner cortex and nucleus zones, with the nucleus containing the oldest lens fibers in concentric layers.
This document discusses the embryology of the eye. It notes that the eye develops from the ectoderm and mesoderm germ layers. The eye begins as optic vesicles that invaginate to form the two-layered optic cup. The inner layer forms the retina and outer forms the retinal pigment epithelium. Growth factors, homeobox genes, and neural crest cells regulate eye development. The optic cup, lens, vitreous body, iris, ciliary body, retina and other structures continue developing throughout gestation. Failure of structures to form properly can result in various congenital eye anomalies.
The document summarizes the development of the eye from early embryogenesis through birth. It discusses the formation of the three primary germ layers - ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm - and how they give rise to the different tissues of the eye. Key stages of eye development are described from 3-5 months of gestation. The retina, lens, vitreous humor, choroid, sclera and other ocular structures develop from specific germ layers and their precursor tissues like the neural crest.
The eye develops from tissues originating from both the ectoderm and mesenchyme. By the fifth week of development, the optic cup and lens vesicle have formed from invaginations of the ectoderm and overlying surface ectoderm. The neural retina develops within the optic cup as the neuroblastic layers proliferate. The optic stalk contains fibers that will form the optic nerve. Additional structures including the iris, ciliary body, choroid, sclera, cornea and extraocular muscles arise from the surrounding mesenchyme and ectoderm. Failure of structures to develop properly can result in various congenital eye abnormalities.
The eyeball is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid. It has three coats - fibrous, vascular, and nervous. The fibrous coat is transparent in the front as the cornea and opaque in back as the sclera. The vascular coat supplies nutrition and consists of the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. The nervous coat is concerned with vision. The eyeball is divided into anterior and posterior segments, with the anterior containing the lens and aqueous humor-filled chambers and the posterior containing structures behind the lens.
The human visual system continues developing after birth, maturing over the first several years of life. This includes the development of anatomical structures like the retina and optic nerve, refractive errors, visual acuity, and other visual attributes. For example, grating acuity improves rapidly in the first year, reaching adult levels between ages 3-5. Binocular vision also develops in the first few years as anatomical structures mature and cortical processing improves. The visual system remains plastic early in life, becoming hardened later, demonstrating its ability to change based on visual experience during critical periods of development.
This document provides information on errors of refraction, including anatomy of the lens, types of ametropia (refractive errors), and details on specific refractive errors. It discusses the lens shape and structure, including the lens capsule, epithelium, nucleus, and cortex. It defines emmetropia and describes the three main types of ametropia: myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism. For each type, it covers etiology, grading, clinical features, complications, and treatment options. In summary, the document is an in-depth overview of refractive errors and lens anatomy.
The document provides an overview of eye anatomy and development from embryology through childhood visual milestones. It describes the development of eye structures from the optic vesicle and lens placode in the embryo. Key structures of the adult eye are defined including the orbits, lids, anterior and posterior segments. The visual pathways and extraocular muscle innervation are also reviewed. Childhood visual development milestones from pupillary light reflex to coordinated eye movements and visual exploration are outlined.
The development of the human eye begins around day 22 of gestation as the optic vesicle forms laterally from the prosencephalon. The optic vesicle invaginates and contacts the overlying surface ectoderm to form the lens placode. By day 33, the lens vesicle separates from the surface ectoderm. The optic vesicle then forms the double-layered optic cup, with the lens vesicle embedded within. Various ocular structures develop from the optic cup, surface ectoderm, and surrounding mesenchyme including the retina, lens, cornea, iris, ciliary body, and more. The development of the eye is complete by birth.
Eye development starts from 22nd day of gestation when the embryo is about 2 mm in length it is 8 somite stage. The eyeball and its related structures are derived from some primordial.
Eyeball is derived from three embryonic layers. These layers include: 1. surface ectoderm 2. neural ectoderm 3. mesoderm
The eye develops from tissues originating in the neural ectoderm, mesoderm and surface ectoderm. The optic vesicle invaginates to form the optic cup and lens vesicle. After birth, the eye reaches its full size by age 8, though the lens continues growing. The eye is protected by orbital bones and muscles that control eye movement. Tears are produced and drained through the lacrimal apparatus to lubricate the eye. Light enters and is refracted to be focused on the retina for visual processing.

This document discusses the embryological development of the human eye. It begins with an overview of the objectives and presentation layout. It then covers general embryology topics like formation of germ layers and eye primordia. Specific structures are discussed like development of the lens from surface ectoderm, formation of the optic vesicle, and migration of mesenchymal cells in corneal development. Congenital anomalies that can result from defects in embryogenesis are also mentioned. The development of the anterior and posterior eye segments are outlined over two sessions.
Similar to Embryology of eye- Anatomical Considerations (20)
The document summarizes several ocular reflexes:
1. The oculocardiac reflex is triggered by stimulation of sensory receptors in the eye and surrounding tissues, leading to a decrease in heart rate through vagus nerve stimulation. It is a risk during eye surgeries and procedures.
2. The corneal reflex protects the eye from injury by triggering eye blinking through a trigeminal-facial nerve loop.
3. The pupillary light reflex mediates pupillary constriction in response to light through a pathway involving the optic nerves, brainstem, and parasympathetic innervation of the iris. Lesions can cause afferent or efferent pupillary defects.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

3. The neural tube is at first a simple tube. Later, its cranial end differentiates froms two
constrictions. Three vesicles i.e. forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain are formed.
Telencephalon gives rise to cerebrum.
The optic cup develops in the diencephalon.
4. Embryogenesis and eye development : establishment of primary organ
rudiments
Finishes around the end of the third gestational week
Soon after gastrulation (formation of the three layers -ectoderm, mesoderm, and
endoderm) begins, the eye field is specified in the anterior neural plate.
The first morphologic landmarks are bilateral indentations (optic sulci or pits),
at approximately 22 days, in the neural folds at the cranial end of the embryo.
Eye organogenesis – development of primary organ rudiments
(4th to 8th week)
Fourth week
In the fourth week, the optic sulci deepen and form the optic vesicles
which are evaginations of the lateral walls of the diencephalon.
The proximal part of the optic vesicle becomes elongated to form the optic stalk.
Optic stalk eventually forms the optic nerve.
5. Interaction between the OV and surface ectoderm (SE) induces the lens placode, and the
wall of the OV in contact with the SE thickens to form the retinal disk.
Towards the end of the fourth week invagination begins to transform the OV into the optic
cup (OC). Simultaneously, the primordia of the extraocular muscles appear as
condensations in the periocular mesenchyme.
6. The optic cup is not continuous, and forms a fold that is continuous with the optic stalk.
This fold k/a embryonic or optic fissure allows the passage of hyaloid artery into the optic
cup.
Disruptions in these early steps lead to severe congenital anomalies, including
anophthalmia, microphthalmia, and optic fissure closure defects (coloboma).
7. Fifth week
The process of invagination of the OV to form the OC predominates in the fifth week.
Invagination of the retinal disk of the OV leads to formation of the inner layer of the OC which becomes the
neural retina, while the external layer of the OC will become the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
8. The primary vitreous develops around the hyaloid vasculature.
The process of invagination also involves the lens placode (plate), which leads to the formation of the lens
pit. The lens pit deepens to become the lens vesicle. Further development leads to the lens vesicle
separating from the SE.
The lens vesicle is large and fills the OC.
The SE becomes the corneal epithelium.
Sixth week
In the sixth week the optic fissure closes after the edges of the OC that border the fissure become closely
apposed.
The embryonic fissure closure begins in the middle and then extends anteriorly and posteriorly.
The development of retina progresses with the RPE forming a single layer of cuboidal cells. A primitive Bruch’s
membrane arises.
The sensory retina thickens due to proliferation of cells in the germinative zone of the inner layer of the OC. At
this stage, retinal ganglion cell axons, which form the optic nerve fibers, first enter the optic stalk to exit the
primitive eye.
The secondary vitreous, a cellular structure with associated extracellular matrix (ECM), forms and remodels the
primary vitreous filling the remaining retrolenticular space.
9. Seventh week
The main events during the seventh week include the maturation of the RPE, the
development of the sensory retina with the formation of outer and inner neuroblastic layers
at the posterior pole.
Primary lens fibers form to obliterate the cavity in the lens vesicle.
The anterior periocular mesenchyme in the mammal has contributions from neural crest and
mesodermal cells.
The mesenchymal cells migrate forward so that cells of neural crest and mesodermal origin
contribute to the corneal stroma, endothelium, and trabecular meshwork: Schlemm’s canal (SC)
is of mesodermal origin.
10.
11. Eighth Week
In the eighth week, there is marked development of the optic nerve as ganglion
cells differentiate; by the end of this week, 2.67 million axons have formed. Optic
nerve axons start to make contact with the brain and establish a rudimentary chiasm.
The RPE nears maturation with the appearance of melanosomes.
Müller cells appear now and extend radial fibers inwards to form the internal limiting
membrane and outward toward the future external limiting membrane.
Corneal differentiation includes endothelial cells starting to form Descemet’s membrane; the
corneal stroma consists of 5–8 rows of cells and the corneal epithelium is evolving to a
stratified squamous epithelium.
12. The lens develops rapidly during this period. The
primary
lens fibers fill the lens vesicle. The intracellular
organelles disappear.
The equatorial epithelial cells begin to divide and new
cells are pushed posteriorly, then elongate and
become the secondary lens fibers. With the formation
of the secondary lens fibers, there is development of
the lens bow which represents the nuclei of the
secondary lens fibers. They form an arc with a
forward convexity. The lens “sutures” develop where
the secondary lens fibers meet in a linear pattern at
the anterior and posterior poles of the lens. The
sutures initially are in a Y shape anteriorly and an
inverted Y posteriorly.
The four rectus muscles insert into the sphenoid bone
and
the trochlea develops. The lacrimal glands form from
the
superotemporal quadrant of the conjunctival sac.
16. Dimensions of the Eye
Most of the growth of the eye takes place in the first year of life. The change in the axial
length of the eye occurs in 3 phases. The first phase (birth to age 2 years) is a period of rapid growth.
The axial length increases by approximately 4 mm in the first 6 months of life and by an additional 2 mm
during the next 6 months. During the second (age 2 to 5 years) and third (age 5 to 13 years) phases, growth
slows, with axial length increasing by about 1 mm per phase.
17. Similarly, the cornea grows rapidly during the first year of life. Keratometry
values change markedly in the first year, starting at approximately 52.00 D at birth, flattening
to 46.00 D by age 6 months, and reaching adult measurements of 42.00- 44.00 D by age
12 months.
The average horizontal diameter of the cornea is 9.5-10.5 mm in newborns and increases to 12.0 mm in adults.
Mild corneal clouding may be seen in healthy newborns and is common in premature infants. It resolves as the
cornea gradually thins, decreasing from an average central thickness of 691 um at 30- 32 weeks' gestation to
564 um at birth.
Keratocyte density is around 60,000 cells per cubic millimetre in infancy with a decline of 0.3% per year
through life.
Endothelial cell counts exceed 10,000 cells per square millimetre at 12 weeks of gestation, 50% of this at birth
and 4,000 cells per square millimeter in childhood.
18. Mean values (dots) and standard deviations (bars) for calculated lens power as determined by modified SRK formula, plotted
with respect to age.
The power of the pediatric lens decreases dramatically over the first several years of life-an important consideration when
intraocular lens implantation is being planned for infants and young children after cataract extraction.
19. Orbit and ocular adnexa
During infancy and childhood, the orbital volume
increases and the shape of the orbital opening
becomes less circular, resembling a horizontal oval.
The lacrimal fossa becomes more superficial, and
the angle formed by the axes of the 2 orbits
becomes less divergent.
20. At first angle between the orbital axes is nearly 180 degree in IUL. With continuous
growth, the axes gradually become more oriented frontally. At birth, the angle is
reduced to approximately 71 degrees.
The adult condition of 68 degree is achieved at adolescence.
21. The palpebral fissure measures approximately 18 mm horizontally and 8 mm vertically at birth and changes
very little during the first year of life. However, from age 1 to 10 years, the palpebral fissure length increases
rapidly, causing the round infant eye to acquire its elliptical adult shape.
The palpebral fissure lengths are 15 ± 2 mm at 32 weeks of gestation, 17 ± 2 mm at birth,
24 ± 3 mm at 2 years of age, and 27 ± 3 mm at the age of 14.
Inner canthal distance and outer orbital distance are 16 and 59 mm, respectively,
in premature infants; 20 ± 4 and 69 ± 8 mm in newborn babies; 26 ± 6 and 88 ± 10 mm
at the age of 3; and 31 ± 5 and 111 ± 12 mm at the age of 14.
22. Volume of orbit is 10.3 ml at birth, doubling by 1 year to 22.3 ml, and reaching
adult volume of 30 ml by 6-8 years.
Birth- 10.3 mm3
1 year- 22.3 mm3
6-8 years- 39.1 mm3
Adult : Males: 59.2 mm3
Females: 52.4 mm3
23. Histologic studies show that the nasolacrimal duct is not fully canalized in many newborns, but
most are asymptomatic.
24. Cornea, Iris, Pupil and Anterior Chamber
Average central corneal thickness (CCT) decreases during the first 6-12 months of life. It then increases from 553
mm at age 1 year to 573 µm by age 12 years and stabilizes thereafter.
Most changes in iris color occur over the first 6-12 months of life, as pigment accumulates in the iris stroma and
melanocytes.
Compared with the adult pupil, the infant pupil is relatively small. A pupil less than 1.8 mm or greater than 5.4
mm in diameter is suggestive of an abnormality. The pupillary light reflex is normally present after 31 weeks'
gestational age.
At birth, the iris insertion is near the level of the scleral spur, but during the first year of life, the lens and ciliary
body migrate posteriorly, resulting in formation of the angle recess.
Trabecular meshwork is less pigmented.
Angle of anterior chamber attains adult-like morphology around 1 year of age.
25.
26.
27. Intraocular Pressure
Measurement of intraocular pressure (lOP) in infants can be difficult, and normal
pressures vary depending on the method used to obtain them. Nevertheless, normal lOP
is lower in infants than in adults, and a pressure of greater than 21 mm Hg should be
considered abnormal. CCT influences the measurement of lOP, but this effect is not well
understood in children.
Normal IOP
Birth-6m 9.5-11.5 mm Hg
1-2 y 10-12 mm Hg
2y <12 mm Hg
Shallow anterior chambers, miotic pupils and bluish irides are features of prematurity.
28. Extraocular Muscles
The rectus muscles of infants are smaller than those of adults; muscle insertions, on
average, are 2.3-3.0 mm narrower in infants than in adults; and the tendons are thinner in infants.
In newborns, the distance from the rectus muscle insertion to the limbus is roughly 2 mm less than that in
adults; by age 6 months, this distance is 1 mm less; and at 20 months, it is similar to that in adults.
Enlargement of the posterior segment occurs during the first 2 years of life, resulting in a separation of 4-5
mm between the superior and inferior oblique insertions and migration of the inferior oblique insertion
temporally.
Extraocular muscle function continues to develop after birth.
Vestibular-driven eye movements are present as early as 34 weeks' gestational age.
Conjugate horizontal gaze is present at birth, but vertical gaze may not be fully functional until 6 months of
age.
Intermittent strabismus is present in approximately two-thirds of young infants but resolves in
most by 2-3 months of age.
29.
30. Retina
The macula is poorly developed at birth but changes rapidly during the first 4
years of life. Most notable are changes in macular pigmentation, the annular ring,
the foveal light reflex, and cone photoreceptor differentiation.
Improvement in visual acuity with age is attributed to 3 processes: differentiation
of cone photoreceptors, narrowing of the rod-free zone, and increase in foveal
cone density.
Retinal vascularization proceeds in a centrifugal manner, starting at the optic disc
at 16 weeks' gestational age and reaching the temporal ora serrata by 40 weeks'
gestational age.
31.
32. Visual cortex development
Development of the cortical visual centers has been investigated using Macaque monkeys.
The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) can first be identified at an age that corresponds to 8 to 11 weeks
in a human gestational age with ganglion cells reaching the LGN at 10 weeks gestational age.
The lamination that characterizes the LGN develops between 22 and 25 weeks gestational age.
Concurrently, as the LGN is developing, cells that will form the striate cortex are developing between 10 to 25
weeks.
Formation of ocular dominance columns takes place between 26 weeks and term, and a significant amount of
cortical visual development continues postnatally.
Just as the foveal development is incomplete at birth, so is the lateral geniculate nucleus as well as striate cortex.
Synaptic connections in the striate cortex develop to reach a maximum degree of interconnection 8 months
postnatally with further refinement that occurs over several years. This refinement of organization is dependent
upon a clear retinal image being focused upon the eye transmitted through the optic nerve and received by the
developing striate cortex.
33. There is a critical period of cortical development during which any impediment of formed
vision leads to permanent abnormal cortical development.
