Frequency of visual deficits in children with developmental dyslexia
JAMA Nov 07, 2018
Raghuram A, et al. – Researchers evaluated the frequency of visual deficits (specifically vergence, accommodation, and ocular motor tracking) in children with developmental dyslexia (DD) vs a control group of typically developing readers. Study participants included 29 children with DD and 33 typically developing (TD) children. Frequencies of deficits in vergence (amplitude, fusional ranges, and facility), accommodation (amplitude, facility, and accuracy), and ocular motor tracking (Developmental Eye Movement test and Visagraph eye tracker) were the primary outcomes. According to results, deficits in visual function were far more prevalent in school-aged children with DD than in TD readers. Nonetheless, there was an uncertainty regarding the possible cause and clinical relevance of these deficits.
