Prevalence of visual dysfunction and ocular motility disorders in developmentally delayed patients

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of reduced visual acuity (VA), refractive errors (RE), contrast sensitivity and strabismus in developmentally delayed (DD) patients.
 Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out Ophthalmology Departments Mayo Hospital, Lahore, The Children’s Lahore Multan from June 2019 to December 2019. We recruited 257 patients either gender, between ages 06-16 years having intelligence quotient (IQ) ≤ 80 by Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) out-patient departments. Detailed systemic ophthalmic history taken through anterior posterior segment examination out. VA assessed with age matched charts. Cycloplegic refraction 1% cyclopentolate Contrast measured hiding Heidi Strabismus Hirschberg covers /uncover tests.
 Results: mean 8.88 standard deviation (SD) ± 2.70. VA, RE, these children were 43.58%, 52.92%, 52.14% 32.7% respectively. Out 52.92% 56 (21.79%) myopic, 66 (25.68%) hyperopic 14 (05.45%) astigmatic. percentage esotropia 72 (28.02%) exotropia 62 (24.12%).
 Conclusion: results our DD have shown that a significant number sensitivity. Apart general management pediatrician, problems must be pediatric ophthalmologist improve their quality life.
