Ophthalmic Examination: A thorough eye examination by a pediatric ophthalmologist is crucial. Visual Field Testing: Tests like perimetry can help in assessing the extent of peripheral vision loss. Neurological Assessment: If a neurological cause is suspected, brain imaging and other tests may be required. Parental Observations: Sometimes, the parentsâ observations about their childâs behavior can offer critical clues.
