title: [The development of visual functions in children].
abstract: Visual function is based on the eye, but it is thanks to the cognitive processing of sensory information that the individual adapts his behaviour and gaze. Visual maturation is acquired gradually over the first 3 years. That is why it is important to detect any visual disorder before the age of 3.
