Brushfield spots are small,white flecks noted around the perimeter of the iris.These spots develop during embryonic maturation and are found in patients with Down syndrome.If a portion of the sclera is seen above the iris,this indicates the child may have hydrocephalus.The optical blink reflex occurs when a light is shined into a newborn's pupil; the baby will normally blink and flex the head closer to the body.Esotropia occurs when the light reflection is displaced to the outer margin of the cornea as the eye deviates inward during the cover/uncover test.It indicates a mild weakness of the extraocular muscles.
