title: [Children visual functions development].
abstract: Development of vision mainly takes place during the first year of life. Visual function isn't restricted to the measurement of visual acuity, but includes functions of environment exploration, relative appreciation of objects, control of body position and movements organization. Visual function comprises sensorial, oculomotor and cognitive elements. Each alteration in visual experience exposes to amblyopia inside the period of sensitivity of visual function.
