Objective: To study the relationships of functional and morphologic retinal parameters in a series of pediatric patients with varying degrees of foveal hypoplasia (FH).
Design: Monocentric observational retrospective study.
Participants: Among 21 pediatric patients, 16 met inclusion criteria, having FH confirmed with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scan METHODS: Data were analyzed retrospectively.
It is well known how early visual experience is critical for the development of multisensory processing abilities, and for this reason an early vision impairment could hinder the transfer of different sensory information during the exploration and recognition of the surrounding environment. Recently, we verified that visuo-haptic transfer for object recognition emerges early in typically developing children but matures slowly during the school-age period. Subsequently we verified the presence of a slower trend of development in unisensory and multisensory skills in children with early abnormal motor and sensory experiences due to brain lesions.

Design: Retrospective study.
Methods: Patients 6 to 12 years-old with INS who performed BFT with MP.
Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between the degree of anisometropia with depth of amblyopia and presence of stereopsis.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of 119 patients treated during 1995-2004 was carried out. All patients had undergone a full ophthalmological examination.
