Sumario:The current understanding of what infants see varies greatly among healthcare and education specialists. Even among ophthalmologists and pediatric neurologists in charge of clinical examinations of infants, opinions vary on what infants perceive, recognize, and use for communication and learning. It is, therefore, of interest to review publications from several specialties to learn whether new information is available on the development of visual functions and use of vision. Ten percent of total publications on this subject are reviewed here based on the usefulness of their content for improving early diagnosis and intervention of vision disorders in infants. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL: The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s40135-014-0056-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
