Study of Early Visual Function in Infants and Young Children at Risk of Cerebral Visual Impairment

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying early visual function in infants who may develop cerebral visual impairment due to brain or eye-related problems. The study focuses on babies from neonatal age up to 36 months old who are at risk because of conditions like brain lesions or ocular diseases. This pilot study aims to better understand how vision develops in these young patients over time. The study observes infants without testing any treatments or interventions. Researchers will assess visual abilities and correlate these findings with brain MRI results to understand the relationship between brain structure and vision function. Participants will be followed and evaluated regularly over a period of five years to track their visual development and neurological status. During the study, infants will undergo visual function assessments and brain imaging evaluations. The researchers will collect data on visual performance scores and compare them with MRI results to better understand visual impairment risks. The total participation includes assessments up to 36 months of age, with long-term follow-up planned for five years to monitor outcomes and correlations between visual function and brain health.
