The detrimental effects of uncorrected astigmatism on visual development are well documented: blur induced by uncorrected astigmatism results in visual deficits that persist despite optical correction. Partnership with the Tohono O'odham Nation, a Native American tribe with a high prevalence of high astigmatism has allowed researchers to conduct large-scale studies of preschool- and school-aged children with high astigmatism. However, little is known about the development of astigmatism and astigmatism- related amblyopia prior to age 3 years. The goals of the present study are: Goal 1. To document developmental changes in astigmatism and aberrations in infants and young children from a population with a high prevalence of high astigmatism. Goal 2. To determine the relation between quality of visual experience (quality of visual input) in astigmatic and non-astigmatic infants and toddlers and visual development (normal and abnormal/amblyopic). Goal 3. To determine the relation between spherical aberration and coma and corrected visual acuity in young children with and without high astigmatism. Goal 4. To determine the effectiveness of eyeglass treatment of astigmatism-related amblyopia in young children. The proposed study will provide unique and valuable information on the development of astigmatism and aberrations and their effects on visual development, will generate important clinical information to aid in the development of guidelines for treatment and prevention of astigmatism-related amblyopia in infancy and early childhood, and will provide a valuable public health service for a population whose children are at increased risk for the development of amblyopia.

未矫正的散光对视觉发育的有害影响是有据可查的：模糊 由未矫正的散光引起的视觉缺陷导致尽管进行了光学矫正但仍持续存在。 与Tohono O 'odham Nation合作，Tohono O' odham Nation是一个高流行率的美洲原住民部落 散光使研究人员能够对学龄前和学龄儿童进行大规模的研究 具有高散光。然而，人们对散光和散光的发展知之甚少- 3岁以前的弱视。本研究的目标是： 目标1.记录婴幼儿散光和像差的发育变化 来自高度散光患病率高的人群的儿童。 目标2.为了确定视觉体验质量（视觉输入质量）与 弱视和非弱视婴儿和幼儿与视觉发育（正常和 异常/弱视）。 目标3.确定球差和慧差与矫正视力的关系 在有和没有高度散光的幼儿中。 目标4.目的：探讨弱视相关性弱视的治疗效果， 年幼的孩子。 拟议的研究将提供关于散光发展的独特和有价值的信息， 畸变及其对视觉发育的影响，将产生重要的临床信息，以帮助 制定治疗和预防婴儿期弱视相关弱视的指南， 幼儿，并将提供一个宝贵的公共卫生服务的人口，其儿童在 增加患弱视的风险。
