Comparison of Visual Characteristics in Children With and Without Learning Difficulties

Key Points

This report aims to compare various visual characteristics in children with and without learning difficulties.
Compared visual characteristics like refractive status and visual acuity in two groups: learning difficulties (LD) and no learning difficulties (No-LD).
Analyzed data from 261 LD children and 496 No-LD children aged 6 to 12 years.
Evaluated binocular status, vergence/accommodation facility, perceptual skills, and ocular health.
LD children showed a higher prevalence of hyperopia and perceptual skills dysfunction.
No-LD children exhibited more cases of myopia.
No other significant differences in visual characteristics were observed between the groups.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This report compares the refractive status, visual acuity, binocular status, vergence/accommodation facility, perceptual skills, and ocular health of 261 children with learning difficulties (LD) and 496 No‐LD children, all between the ages of 6 and 12 years. Data reveal that among conditions diagnosed routinely by optometrists, hyperopia and perceptual skills dysfunction were more prevalent in LD children and myopia in No‐LD children. No other significant between‐group differences were found.
