What are the types of acuity?
Resolution Acuity (spatial frequencies) Detection Acuity (something is there) Vernier Acuity (misalignment) Recognition Acuity (SNELLEN)
What are the immaturies in visual system?
cortical immaturity: incomplete myelination throughout visual pathway and foveal cone immaturities (adult by 4 years old) and foveal pit morphologies (varies by adult like by 17 months)
How do you interpret CSM results
Central
Steady – if not, nystagmus
Maintained – if not, poor acuity

Forced Preferential Looking (must choose 1)
Resolution VA (spatial frequencies) TAC, Lea Paddles -- not snellen equivalent
What are the expected results of OKN and limits?
OKN: involuntary eye movement induced by the speed of motion of visual field
Holds images stable on retina
Start T to N first and then N to T and record if response
Not truly foveal; not affected by RE
What happens if there is no OKN response in a non-blind child
lesion in cortex, cerebellum or brainstem
cortical dysplasia or blindness
