A survey of a sample of UK paediatricians was carried out to
identify the practices and determine the training of those involved in
routine surveillance examinations to detect ophthalmic disorders in
infants. The findings indicate important variation in current practices
and raise concerns about both undergraduate and postgraduate training
in ophthalmic assessment of infants.
