Basic Pediatric Vision Exam
Alvina Pauline D. Santiago, MD Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus
Visual milestones
• Birth Bright lights • 7 days vestibulo-ocular reflex • 3 mos transient fixation & following • 6 mos fixation & following
even for distance • 2-3 y 20/30 • 5-7 y 20/2
Vision Assessment
• Fixation pattern • 3 mos: transient fix and follow • 6 mos: fix and follow
– “CSM” : central, steady, maintained – cover one eye – start distance fixation
Fixation Preference & Visual Acuity
• Central, steady, maintained CSM 20/20-20/30
• CS, maintained briefly 20/40-20/60 • CS, not maintained (NM)20/70-20/80 • C, NS, NM 20/100-20/200 • Not C, Eccentric </= 20/300
Preferential Looking
• Modified optokinetic flag
• Teller acuity cards or its derivative
• Facial targets
School age child
• Not infants and toddlers • Preschool 3-6 years • Regular School 7-12 • Adolescent 13-18
Vision testing
• Quantifiable • Depends on patient discrimination • Depends on examiner ability to interpret
response • Standard: Sloan linear acuity: optotype • Psychophysical tests: test interpretation
subjective measured by patient’s ability to communicate recognition to examiner
Preschool
• Short attention span • Inability to sustain interest • Language and communication barriers • Cultural and social limitations
Preschool Tests
• Detection acuity tests – Stycar graded balls (Sheridan 1973) – Catford drum (Catford & Oliver 1973) – Dot visual acuity test
• Recognition acuity test – Direction oriented: Illiterate E, Landolt C – Picture charts: Allen, Lea® Symbols – Letter charts: Snellen, Sloan
Vision Assessment: 3-6 years
• Allen pictures: cultural bias
• Sheridan Gardner or HOTV/HOTEX
• Illiterate E / tumbling E / E game
• Landolt C • Lea® Symbols and
Numbers • Snellen numbers, letters
– kids memorize!
• Sloan Letters http://www.keeler.co.uk/images/products/nearvisionsheridan2_250x250.jpg
Visual Acuity Testing
• Test Charts – HOTV / HOTEX – Tumbling “E” Game – Landolt C – Picture Charts
Lea® Symbols
Allen picture cards
Grating vs Snellen Acuity
• Grating acuity (cycles per degree)
• Snellen acuity (visual angle)
• Grating overestimates Snellen
Limitations of Optotype Test
• Letter or number acuity (e.g. Snellen or Sloan) unreliable before age 6-8
• Not all children will know alphabet & numbers
• Single optotypes may overestimate linear acuity

Susceptible Period
• Most sensitive first 2-3 years
• Decreases until age 6-7 years (12? 18?) – complete visual
maturation – retinocortical pathways
and visual centers resistant to abnormal visual input
7-12 years
• Significant number still will not express poor vision
• Easy to perform Sloan linear acuity testing
Vision Assessment: Nystagmus
• Binocular near vision test – allow patient to assume own distance – test at standard near distance – check head posture – VA in forced primary
• Binocular distance vision • Monocular distance & near vision
Vision Assessment: Nystagmus
• Monocular occlusion – many will increase nystagmus
• Remote occlusion • Sufficient fogging: know refraction! • Neutral density filters • AO vectograph testing • Translucent occluder
Random dot stereograms
• 2 plates of randomly displayed dots, one plate to each eye
• Shape of figure displaced horizontally relative to other plate
• No monocular cues • Normal may fail
