<table width=63% style="line-height:110%;">
<td style="width:50%;">''Does she close her eyes in bright sunlight or turn her head toward a light?''</td>
<td>[[Image:HCWB_Ch4_Page_24-1.png|center|170px]]</td>
</table>

<table width="90%" style="line-height:110%;">
<tr>
<td style="width:25%;">''Does she bring objects close to her eyes?''</td>
<td style="width:25%;">[[Image:HCWB_Ch4_Page_24-2.png|140px]]</td>
<td style="width:25%;">''Does she follow slowly moving objects with her head?''</td>
<td>[[Image:HCWB_Ch4_Page_24-3.png|130px]]</td></tr>

<tr>
<td>''Does she always tilt her head in a certain way?''</td>
<td>[[Image:HCWB_Ch4_Page_24-4.png|105px]]</td>
<td>''Does she move her hand back and forth in front of her eyes?</td>
