Vision The Paediatricians perspective Dr Sneha Sadani Dr Gill Robinson • • • • • Normal vision Visual history Examining eyes Assessing Vision Abnormalities of eye movement Squint nystagmus Normal vision development • Newborns can see, VA 20/400 ( 20 feet= 6 m) – Fixate on lights, points of contrast • Earliest response to formed visual stimulus- regard for mum’s face • 2 weeks, sustained interest in large objects • 8-10 weeks follows object through 180° • Proper co ordination of eye movements + alignement-3 to 6 mo • VA continues to improve – 20/40 by 3 yrs – 20/30 by 4 yrs – 20/20 by 5-6 yrs Newborns look at light source Early weeks of life fix on human face 8-10 weeks follows object through 180° 3 months hand regard ... And together in midline Proper coordination of eye movements + alignment at 3 to 6 months Seeing to play 12 months point at distant object 2 to 3 years 3 to 4 years 4 to 5 years Visual History • Do you have any concerns about eyes? • Do you think she sees normally? Why/why not? • Does she look at your face? • Does she watch as you walk away? • What sort of things can she see? • Bits of fluff on the carpet • Airplane high in the sky Visual History • • • • • • • • • Recognizing faces (not voices) Does she look at toys/pictures? Does she hold objects close to her eyes? Does she feel for objects? Have you seen either eye turning in or out? PMH Are there other disabilities? FH Is there a family history of eye problems? Examination • General – Dysmorphology, albinism – OFC – Look for head tilt and abnormal gaze which can be due to field defects or squint. • Eyes – size, shape, symmetry – Lids, sclera, iris, pupil Examination • Ocular Motility (Abnormal eye movements) – at rest – tracking - following torch through horizontal and vertical axis. • Alignment (Squint) – Corneal reflections in all positions of gaze – Cover test – more later Examination • Red reflex • Ophthalmoscopy • Visual fields – by confrontation • Functional visual assessment • Visual acuity test • Colour vision testing Visual acuity tests Age • Birth • • 6 weeks • • 6 months • 2 yrs • • • 3 yrs • • 5 yrs + • Test Face fixation & following, preferential looking (patterned objects) Optokinetic nystagmus demonstrated on looking at a moving striped target Reaches well for toys Identifies specific pictures of reducing size (Kays or crowded Kays) Letter matching using single letter charts Line of letters on Snellen / logmar chart by naming or matching Functional visual assessment – older child • What objects can a child identify near or in the distance • Use books to observe the way the child looks at a picture – • Do they hold books up close. • What type of pictures can child identify near and in the distance. Note familiar objects and pictures will be recognized more readily than unfamiliar. Red reflex Squint / strabismus Corneal light reflex test Overt squint Cover the bad eye – nothing happens Cover the good eye – the bad eye moves in to take up fixation Latent squint – don’t worry these don’t come to the exam Amblyopia Preferential looking • Infants dislike boring visual stimuli • You present a display to a baby, half of which is quite plain and the other have has some pattern to it, the baby will tend to look at the pattern • Grating patterns of different widths • An observer has to decide, based on their observation of the baby's head and eye movements, where the stimulus is located. Kay pictures • Verbal/matching abilities (2 years +) • Single and Crowded format • 12 equal step sizes Crowded Kays • Simple and quick – 3 years+ • At 3m ask the child to read all the pictures in one vertical row down to smallest size. Can also use matching card • Correlates to logamar and snellen • screening pass criteria of 0.200 (3/4.8 or 10/16 Snellen) instructions. Snellen Logmar Snellen • Numerator- distance from chart i.e. 6m/20 feet • Denominator – distance at which a person with good vision could read the last line that the patient is able to read Logmar • logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution • One feature seen on snellen • LogMAR scale converts the geometric sequence of a traditional chart to a linear scale.

Name 3 causes What test would you like to do? Ptosis – congential and acquired • Congenital – Absence of levator palpebrae – beware vision – Mostly unilateral – May be familial and acquired causes of ptosis • Acquired – 3rd nerve palsy – trauma, tumour, post meningitis – Myasthenia gravis Tensilon test • IV endrophonium chloride • (infant 1mg - child 8mg) • Photos before and after • Dramatic improvement 1 min • Lost by 5 mins Visual Impairment -WHO definitions.
