Ocular Motility Abnormalities in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: An Observational Study

Purpose: To evaluate ocular motility (OM) abnormalities associated with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, patients EDS underwent a complete orthoptic examination. The following tests were performed: corneal light reflex test, stereoscopic cover OM assessment, evaluation of eye pain in different gaze positions red filter test for diplopia. Results: at 33 cm showed an intermittent divergent deviation 31.7% horizontal vertical 4.9% patients. A manifest strabismus was observed 2.4% patients, whereas microstrabismus. 5 m revealed microstrabismus 9.8% our Moreover, exotropia cases. No significant alterations involving the inferior rectus superior oblique muscles observed. Significant associations between medial muscle deficit both eyes (p = 0.020) diplopia 0.014). Furthermore, association lateral alteration 0.004). Conclusions: Our results show various EDS, specifically hypofunction. full these is recommendable to detect involvement possible ligamentous laxity changes over time through accurate assessment.
