Understanding the processes involved in early visual development in the human fetus
and newborn is essential in clinical efforts to support and protect early neurosensory
development. While this knowledge is important in the care of the infant and young
child, it is of critical importance in the care of preterm and other high-risk infants
in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). High noise levels, bright lights, sleep
deprivation, and long-term sedation all affect the processes of early visual development.
