It reflects a broad range of neural, perceptual, oculomotor, and clinical abnormalities that can occur when normal visual development is disrupted early in life.

Comparison of the effectiveness of visual acuity measurements for amblyopia screening at the age of 36 and 45 months and difference in severity of amblyopia detected

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Efficiency of visual screening using visual acuity measurement (VAM) in children screened at 45 months of age (45 m) and screened at both 36 months of age (36 m) and 45 m was investigated by determining failure, repeat and referral rates and amblyopia detection.
