Is there any examination that can reliably prognosticate visual acuity for infants with Ocular Albinism?

A test called a Visually Evoked Potential (VEP), or sometimes called a Visually Evoked Cortical Potential (VECP), is performed like an EEG or brain wave test. This test will show, when each eye is stimulated independently, the differences of transmission from the stimulated eye to each side of the brain. However, in infants, since the visual pathways continue to develop until at least 7-9 years of age, nothing in an infant will predict exactly what the final visual acuity will be.
