Visual Acuity and the Essentiality of Docosahexaenoic Acid and Arachidonic Acid in the Diet of Term Infants

TLDR
Early dietary intake of preformed DHA and AA appears necessary for optimal development of the brain and eye of the human infant.

A randomized controlled trial of early dietary supply of long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and mental development in term infants

The effects of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supply during infancy on later cognitive development of healthy term infants were evaluated in a randomized clinical trial of infant formula milk…

Essential fatty acids in visual and brain development

TLDR
The main findings are that light sensitivity of retinal rod photoreceptors is significantly reduced in newborns with n−3 fatty acid deficiency, and that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) significantly enhances visual acuity maturation and cognitive functions.

Dietary essential fatty acid supply and visual acuity development.

TLDR
The results suggest that dietary omega-3 fatty acid supply may play an important role in early human visual development.

Stereoacuity at age 3.5 y in children born full-term is associated with prenatal and postnatal dietary factors: a report from a population-based cohort study.

TLDR
It is suggested that for full-term infants, breast-feeding is associated with enhanced stereopsis at age 3.5 y, as is a maternal DHA-rich antenatal diet, irrespective of later infant feeding practice.

Effect of Dietary Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Retinal Function of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Neonates

TLDR
An essential role for ω-3 fatty acids in retinal development is supported by electroretinogram results and the fatty acid composition of plasma and red blood cell (RBC) lipids were similar for all groups on entry but marked dietinduced differences were found after feeding the study diets.
