title: Clinical assessment of visual acuity in human infants.
abstract: Electrophysiological and fixation preference techniques have been used in the laboratory to assess numerous visual functions in infants. However, the laboratory situation is considerably different from the clinical setting. A modification of the procedures developed in the laboratory is required before they may be applied to the routine clinical examination of infants. This paper reviews these issues.
