Several methods are used to assess vision in newborns:
1. Red Reflex Test: This test uses a light to examine the reflection from the back of the eye. Abnormalities in the red reflex can indicate conditions like cataracts, retinal problems, or even tumors.
2. Pupil Response Test: This test checks if the pupils open and close properly in response to light. It helps identify potential neurological issues or eye problems.
3. Tracking Test: This involves moving an object in front of the baby's eyes and observing if they can follow it. It assesses the coordination and function of the eyes.
