Early diagnosis is critical for managing neonatal blindness. Common diagnostic methods include:
Eye Examinations: Regular eye exams can help identify abnormalities in the structure of the eye. Imaging Techniques: Techniques like ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans can be used to detect structural issues within the eye or brain. Genetic Testing: If a hereditary condition is suspected, genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis. Electroretinography (ERG): This test measures the electrical responses of various cell types in the retina to light stimuli and can help diagnose retinal conditions.
