Visual impairments and neurodevelopmental disorders : from diagnosis to rehabilitation

The rising number of cases in visual disorders during
development, over the last decade, has strongly
influenced approaches to diagnosis and rehabilitation.
Moreover, the study of visual function has
evolved not only within an ophthalmological, but also a
neurodevelopmental framework: advances in our understanding
of the maturation and plasticity of visual system
functioning have further guided the progress of such
approaches. As a result, the key importance of the
developmental age is now widely acknowledged, from as
early as the first months of life.
This book provides an overview of the diagnosis and
treatment of visual disorders in relation to advances in
neurodevelopmental studies. The concept of early and
multimodal management is discussed, with a focus on
neuro-psycho-ophthalmological issues. The need for
training courses aimed at updating semiological aspects and
methodological and rehabilitative strategies is established,
as being of significant value to clinical practice.
