when do kids see 20/20?
20/20 - by 3-5 year old - Snellen
with preferential viewing -
VEP - 6-7 months
when do kids develop contrast sensitivity?
Reaches adult-like levels for low frequency attenuation at about 2-4 months
and is completely developed by 3-5 years
Blink response to visual threats age develops
This begins at 2 months of age
color vision development:
- Newborns have the ability to notice color but cannot distinguish red, green, or
yellow - 2 months infants are able to distinguish red-green
- 3 months they can recognize similar hues within color groups;
- adult-like levels by 3 years of age
Pupil responses development
- pupils are sluggish in newborns
- well-developed by 1 month
Accommodation development
- A newborn’s accommodation is accurate for about 30cm
- a lag of accommodation of
about +0.75 D occurs by about 4 months of age
- a lag of accommodation of
- well-developed and accurate for further distances by 6 months
Stereopsis development
- Newborns do not have any stereopsis ability
- emerges at 4 months
- well-developed by 6 months
NPC development
Newborns can converge up to 10 cm; this improves to the ability to converge to the nose by 6 months
Fixation/follow a moving target development
response begins to emerge at 4 months of age
Binocular alignment development
Alignment typically occurs by 1 month of age and reaches adult-like levels of angle lambda at 18 months
Acuity (using visual evoked potential VEP)
Newborn: 20/400
1 month: 20/200
2-4 months: 20/80
6-12 months: 20/20
Acuity (using preferential looking)
Newborn: 20/400 to 20/1200
1 month: 20/300 to 20/1200
2-4 months 20/150 to 20/600
6-12 months:20/50 to 20/200
18 months: 20/40 to 20/100
24 months: 20/30 to 20/80
3 years: 20/20
Optokinetic response development
This will be asymmetric (T-N and N-T response) for the first 4 months and becomes a symmetric response at 6 months of age
pursuits development
Emerge at about 2-4 months of age
saccades development
Horizontal saccades are present in newborns; vertical saccades begin at 2 months
Fixation development
newborn is able to fixate on a person’s face
AOA when should kids be examined?
asymptomatic children be examined at 6 months of age
3 years
before entering 1st grade
every 2 years thereafter.
how to properly cyclo kids?
1 gtt 0.50% cyclopentolate OU instilled - for 1 year old or under
1% for older
when is cyclo contraindicated
Cyclopentolate may also be avoided in children with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, trisomy 13 and 18, and other central nervous system disorders because of a possible increased reaction
psychosocial stages
- . Age: infancy (birth to 18 months):
tust vs mistrust
oral-sensory - Age: early childhood (2-3 years)
muscular-anal
Autonomy vs. Shame - Age: pre-school (3-5 years)
Initiative vs. Guilt (Purpose)
locomotor-genital - school age (6-11 years)
Industry vs. Inferiority
latency - adolescence (12-18 years)
Identity vs. Role Confusion (Fidelity)
fidelity
lower motor neuron defect vs central lesion
- Facial paralysis due to an upper motor neuron (central lesion) will cause weakness or paralysis of the contra lower facial musculature only
May be due to space occupying lesion or CVA - Bell’s palsy is due to a lower motor neuron (peripheral) lesion, in which both ipsi upper and lower facial weakness occurs.
what is the primary complication in a patient diagnosed with Bell’s palsy or any 7th nerve palsy?
corneal exposure
treatment of Bell’s palsy
- monitor
- but steroids none to help if started within 72 hours
what is Ramsay-hunt syndrome?
HZV lesions on face , neck + (peripheral facial palsy/Bell’s palsy)
what is this ?
Actinic keratosis is a precursor to squamous cell carcinoma; it appears as scaly, dry skin that does not heal.
Which of the following signs is considered essentially pathognomonic for psoriasis?
oil drop sign - involvement of the nail bed
onycholysis - separation of the nail bed from the nail plate
