  • Title: [Visually evoked potentials and visual acuity of the young child].
    Author: van Nieuwenhuizen O.
    Journal: Tijdschr Kindergeneeskd; 1989 Jun; 57(3):117-20. PubMed ID: 2799799.
    Abstract:
    Interest in the development of visual acuity in young infants is increasing. At this age a reliable estimation of visual function is hazardous. This paper highlights the role of flash- and pattern evoked visual potentials. Flash evoked potentials are valuable in following development and/or recovery of visual acuity intra-individually as well as in providing an estimation of sensitiveness to light. Pattern evoked potentials may give an estimation of maturation of the visual system: these potentials also give an objective measurement of visual acuity.
