  • Title: Pediatric primary care vision examination.
    Author: Ryan JB.
    Journal: Optom Clin; 1996; 5(2):1-34. PubMed ID: 8837125.
    Abstract:
    Pediatric vision care is important to the welfare of every child. Recent research has shown that early vision care is advantageous for proper vision development. Primary vision care is recommended for infants and young children. Techniques used for the pediatric population are different from those used for the adult population. Measurement of visual function is greatly dependent on the examiner's skill in integrating knowledge of normal development, use of age-appropriate tests, and observational abilities. This paper is a summary of techniques that are applicable to the primary care examination of infants and young children. Comments are included on patient management and practice preparation to welcome young children.
