Ophthalmological findings in children with autism spectrum disorder
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Jan 16, 2020
Khanna RK, Kovarski K, Arsene S, et al. - Among 51 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), researchers evaluated ophthalmological disorders and explored the connections with intellectual disability (ID) and ASD severity. Using adapted scales, ASD severity and verbal and performance intelligence quotients were determined. According to this prospective study, ophthalmological disorders were observed in 39% of cases, with 35% having significant refractive errors and 10% presenting with strabismus. In children with ASD, particularly in those with ID, ophthalmological disorders were frequently found. For children with ASD, ophthalmologists and child psychiatrists should be careful to conduct ophthalmological examination because eye disorders can remain undetected. A comprehensive examination by a pediatric ophthalmologist will help improve individual clinical description and the global intervention.
