| | DI in Children with Septo-Optic Dysplasia |
 | | Children who have SOD may also have this degree of vision, but their vision is usually 20/1000 at best, and often limited to light and shadow or worse. | | | Sometime during the development of the child in the womb, the optic nerves do not fully develop, which is true for most types of congenital vision impairments. | | | If a child with ONH has only or no light perception, the child should be checked for SOD since most, but not all, severe forms of ONH are in children with SOD because of damage to the optic chiasm. |

| | Septo-Optic Dysplasia |
| | Currently, it is thought that SOD is a more involved level of Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. | | | With this syndrome, the optic nerve is too small in diameter for light to get back to the brain and without light, vision does not develop. | | | It will take a medical breakthrough to help those with optic nerve blindness to see. |

| | Special Child: Disorder Zone Archives - Septo-Optic Dysplasia/De Morsier’s Syndrome |
| | Optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a condition where the optic nerves are small and underdeveloped. | | | In fact, some researchers believe that SOD is the result of a lack of blood supply or oxygen to the front part of the brain during a critical stage of fetal development. | | | Therefore, children with SOD must be tested, taught, and treated by individuals who have experience with children with poor vision. |
