Selected peer reviewed published research on Pediatric Conditions:
There are several pediatric disorders that may cause vision loss or blindness in children due to retinal, visual pathway, or cortical pathology. The objective data obtained by electroretinograms, electrooculargrams, and visual evoked potentials are an integral part to the diagnosis and monitoring of infants and children either with or suspected of having visual impairment.
