The acuity card procedure has been shown to be a rapid method for the assessment of monocular and binocular grating acuity in normal infants from birth through 36 months of age. The current study seeks to validate the procedure further by using the acuity cards to assess 20 2- to 8-month-old infant patients with ocular disorders, including aphakia, strabismus, ptosis, and orbital hemangioma. Assessments were made with the acuity cards by two different observers, both blind to the infant's diagnosis, and by a third observer using a traditional forced-choice preferential looking (FPL) procedure. One hundred percent of the infant patients completed both binocular and monocular acuity card testing in an average time of 8 minutes per test. Interobserver agreement between acuity card observers and inter-technique agreement were high, and were sustained in individual cases in which the infant's acuity was not predictable from its visible signs. These results help to establish the potential clinical utility of the acuity card procedure for the assessment of infant patients.
