Is it possible to test a childs vision at home?
A very simple test that can be done at home, say around 3-6 months after birth, is the throwing of a torch light that is not too bright, from a distance 3-4 feet. Normally, any child will readily look at the indicating that everything is okay. The reflection of the light can be readily seen on the babys cornea (the central black round portion in the eye) right at the centre of both the eyes. In case there is any deviation of the eyes, this reflection will not be in the centre.
