title: Development of stereopsis in infants and young children.
abstract: A limited number of studies have been done on stereopsis performance and clinical testing of infants and young children. As optometrists increasingly begin to examine young children there arises a need to know if stereopsis is a developmentally derived skill and if so, what are the normal skill levels for each age. This study shows that stereoacuity response follows a developmental trend and provides preliminary data on levels of performance for infants (18-24 months) and young children (30-60 months).
