Abstract
This article reviews the research literature on the direct effects of brain damage on the visual functioning of children and the electrodiagnostic tests used to diagnose them. Although the studies documented that brain damage affects visual functioning, they suggested that the prognosis for good functional vision after remedial intervention is more optimistic than was previously thought. They also found that electrodiagnostic testing is a valuable tool, but that the use of a combination of tests yields a more complete picture of the effects than does any single test.
