  • Title: Contact-lens correction of aphakic infants and children: early behavioral and VEP results.
    Author: Johnson LN, Yee RD, Weissman BA, Hepler RS, Martin DA.
    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1988 Mar; 20(3):89-91. PubMed ID: 3400956.
    Abstract:
    We studied 11 infants and young children fitted with contact lenses for correction of unilateral or bilateral aphakia. The visual-acuity estimates obtained from behavioral cues (alternate-cover test and central-fixation monitoring) were compared with results obtained from pattern-reversal visual-evoked potentials (VEP). We conclude that VEP may be more sensitive than behavioral observation for monitoring the visual progress in certain aphakic children.
