A survey of paediatricians' practice and training in routine infant eye examination
Arch Dis Child.
1998 Apr.
Abstract
A survey of a sample of UK paediatricians was carried out to identify the practices and determine the training of those involved in routine surveillance examinations to detect ophthalmic disorders in infants. The findings indicate important variation in current practices and raise concerns about both undergraduate and postgraduate training in ophthalmic assessment of infants.
