Infant Vision Summary

Infant Vision by Francois Vital-Durand (INSERM U371 Cerveau et Vision, Bron)

This extensive book provides an up-to-date overview by leading international authorities, spanning the disciplines of neuroscience, psychology, ophthalmology, optometry, and paediatrics, of normal and pathological infant visual development. It covers the development of retinal receptors; infant sensitivity to detail, colour, contrast, and movement; binocularity, eye movements, and refraction, and cognitive processing. Childrens' visual deficits, including amblyopia and cataract are covered.

Section 1: Basic Coding of Spatial and Chromatic Vision ; 1. Development of contrast sensitivity in normal and amblyopic monkeys ; 2. The development of the visual field: results from human and animal studies ; 3. Development of Primate Rod Structure and Function ; 4. Assessing dimensionality in infant colour vision ; 5. Spatial and temporal properties of infant colour vision ; 6. The development of visual motion processing ; Section II: Refraction and Resolution ; 7. Basic considerations when refracting infants ; 8. Using near retinoscopy to refract infants ; 9. Prediction of myopia in children ; 10. Issues in infant vision screening and assessment ; 11. Photorefraction for the detection of amblyogenic defects: past and present ; 12. The Rotterdam C-Chart: visual acuity and interocular differences in very low birthweight and/or very prematurely born children at the age of 5 years ; 13. Acuity cards and the search for risk factors in infant visual development ; Section III: Oculomotor and Binocular Processes ; 14. Striate cortex, extrastriate cortex, and colliculus: some new approaches ; 15. Eye alignment and convergence in young infants ; 16. Eye-head relations in neonates and young infants ; 17. Development of binocularity and its sexual differentiation ; 18. Dioptric blur, grating visual acuity and stereoacuity in infants ; 19. Evaluation of sensory visual development based on measures of oculomotor responses ; Section IV: Perception, the Brain and Clinical Applications ; 20. The organization of visual perception in early infancy ; 21. Pattern processing in infancy: Hemispheric differences and brain maturation ; 22. Practical application of the visual evoked potential in paediatric neuro-ophthalmology ; 23. MRI findings in children with cerebral vision impairment ; 24. Occlusion therapy for childhood amblyopia: current concepts in treatment evaluation ; 25. Visual development following treatment of a unilateral infantile cataract ; 26. Visual development in children with congenital cataract ; 27. Visual instrumentation for use with visually deficient children: Point Mobile
