“…Kothe and Regan also concluded that both uncrowded and crowded acuity improved in parallel between the ages of 4 and 11 years. This finding of the continued development of uncrowded acuity beyond the age of around 6 years conflicted with the conclusions of some previous authors, [21][22][23] who reported high levels of single optotype (uncrowded) acuity at young ages with little development thereafter (see also ref. 24 ).…”

“…Hered et al 20 also found poorer visual acuity with the HOTV test than with Lea symbols for 3-year-olds but not for 4-and 5-year-olds. When screening acuity results on the two tests were not identical, 3-year-olds more frequently showed poorer acuity for HOTV letters than for Lea symbols.…”

“…The results obtained in the studies of Fantz, Ordy and Udelf (1%2) and Woodruff (1972) indicate that visual acuity can be reliably assessed in babies and preschool children. These results also suggest that the development of visual acuity is completed during the first year of life.…”

“…For 3-year-olds, the variation in acuity is between 20/40 (Slataper, 1950;Allen, 1957) and 20/30 (Trotter, Schaffer & Phillips, 1966). In a recent study, Woodruff (1972) reported that about 70% of his sample obtained an acuity value of 20/20 at the age of 3 years.…”
