Infants &
Special Needs
Vision develops rapidly after birth. Any undetected vision problem can have a significant impact on infant and childhood development. It is driven by a developmental sequence orchestrated by a series of primitive reflexes and sensory motor experience. By 6 months of age the two eyes should be coordinated together. The earlier a problem is detected and treated, the less likely it is that other areas of development will be affected.
​
We will assess eye teaming, eye positioning, level of eyesight, check for abnormal amounts of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism, assess structural eye health. Measurements are based on non-verbal techniques, using: pediatric tests, pictures, lights and lenses.
BY 6 MONTHS OF AGE THE TWO EYES SHOULD BE COORDINATED TOGETHER.
