  • Title: [Normal and disordered visual development with preferential looking].
    Author: Boergen KP, Kau T, Lorenz B, Rosenauer E.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1991 Aug; 199(2):103-9. PubMed ID: 1960929.
    Abstract:
    Normal and disturbed development of grating acuity in preverbal infants has been studied using the Teller acuity card procedure. The results of 195 normal and 34 premature children are in good accordance with those reported in the literature. In more than 86% no interocular differences of grating acuity could be detected in these groups. On the other hand the incidence of interocular acuity differences reached 30% in 37 cases showing monolateral convergent squint. This is much higher than has been reported in current literature and may indicate that grating and Snellen acuity correlate better than expected in infants' squint amblyopia. As to the problem of monitoring early amblyopia therapy by PL, four longitudinal cases are presented.
