Pediatric ophthalmology is a subspecialty of ophthalmology dealing with children’s eye diseases. The human visual system develops as the brain matures, a process that takes about ten years. 

Although a baby’s eyes are optically capable of seeing, infant vision is limited to around 20/1500, in part because the brain has not learned how to process the visual messages it receives.

 As visual development proceeds, that same child will eventually be able to detect the finest details in an image. Some children or infants have visual disorders that are secondary to serious diseases in their brain or nervous system.
