Main Results:

  • Pediatricians can perform vision screening, external eye examination, and basic motility tests.
  • Funduscopic examination and more detailed evaluations fall outside the typical pediatrician's scope.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatricians play a vital role in initial vision screening.
  • Referral to ophthalmologists ensures comprehensive and specialized pediatric eye care when needed.
