This article discusses the stages of vision development in infants and the importance of vision screening. Vision screening is a basic test that can detect potential eye problems and guide referrals for further evaluation by an ophthalmologist.
Vision develops over time, similar to a baby's physical development. At birth, babies can see the presence or absence of light. By three to six months, they can see high-contrast images. This explains why a mother's areola darkens and enlarges to serve as a target for an infant. Between six months and 11 months, tracking ability improves. By one year old, vision theoretically reaches 2200, 2040 at four years old, and 2020 at six to seven years old.
Vision screening, a basic test conducted by healthcare professionals, can detect eye or vision issues. While it doesn't diagnose specific problems, it identifies reduced vision and other eye conditions that could progress to vision loss. This screening can be done quickly and doesn't require specialized equipment. If any problems are found, the patient is referred to an ophthalmologist for a complete eye examination. Basic vision screening involves inspecting the eye and pupils to assess the shape and color of the eyes
