Purpose

This retrospective study was undertaken to (1) determine the feasibility and reliability of Baby Vision Screener (Baby Vision Screener) and (2) to test and identify visual field defects in children with cerebral visual impairment (cerebral visual impairment).

Methods

A total of 32 children (mean age: 6.3 ± 3.2 years and range: 11 months to 14 years) with cerebral visual impairment were included after their medical records were reviewed (from June 2021 to October 2023).

n = 32 children
Results
38%
children tested had blind spots or missing areas in their side vision
n = 32 children
More results

Most children (91%, n = 29/32) were testable, and large majority (72%, n = 21/29) had reliable visual field isopters plotted with Baby Vision Screener.

Generalized field extent reduction and inferior visual field reduction were the most common visual field defect patterns.

More results

62% of children had visual impairment in more than one visual function domain.

“
Conclusion · 1 of 3

Baby Vision Screener shows good potential to be used for quantifying visual fields even in younger children with cerebral visual impairment.

Conclusion · 2 of 3

About two-fifths of the children with cerebral visual impairment in our test cohort showed visual field defects.

Conclusion · 3 of 3

Measuring visual fields, along with other visual functions, will be important for managing children with cerebral visual impairment.
