    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The examination of the infant needs patience, special knowledge and skills to get to a reliable judgment of the visual functions of the child. For the practitioner it is important to rely on clinical methods without the apparatus reserved to ophthalmologic institutions. METHODS: Based on the literature and personal experience the clinical examination techniques for infants are presented and the results are discussed with respect to the possible diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Simple clinical tests reveal most symptoms in the infant. Electrophysiological tests and imaging procedures are sometimes necessary.
