This course addresses the growing awareness that vision and observation of vision characteristics can aid in early identification of children on the autism spectrum. Research studies are increasingly showing this and raises the need for earlier identification and intervention which is a service that optometrists can provide. It emphasizes the assessment and diagnosis of eye and vision conditions most likely encountered in the examination of this population. Differential diagnosis will be used to guide the optometrist into the appropriate treatment plan and potential referral sources.

Topic 1

Just Look Retinoscopy Procedure and Uses

Just Look Retinoscopy is a retinoscopy technique that has been described to utilize for monitoring the stability of the patient’s looking process. The technique involves monitoring the progression of looking from awareness to seeing to understanding. This is particularly important in the early years as children prepare for later rigors of school. More than just retinoscopy, however, observation is necessary in all phases of examination. Because many other disciplines use observation of visual attention to determine specific milestones in development, it is important that optometrist utilize observation as a key component of examination.
