Comparative study assesses stereoacuity and visual deficits in children with autism spectrum disorder, indicating potential cognitive impacts.
In children with ASD, stereoacuity and near fusion amplitudes were reduced and the near point of convergence increased. These findings are likely associated with cognitive impairments and attentional deficits characteristic of ASD, potentially rendering near vision tasks particularly challenging. Recognizing and addressing these visual function impairments may facilitate both visual and cognitive development in this patient population.
