  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We surveyed the incidence of refractive error under cycloplegia in 4,926 eyes of 2,602 persons with disabilities. Myopia or hyperopia of 6 diopters (D) or greater and astigmatism of 2 D or greater were present in 26% in persons with disabilities and in 28% without. Refractive errors were present in 42% of persons with congenital anomaly and in 30% of those with sequaelae including Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. Persons with past history of prematurity comprised 10% in the present series. Persons with retinopathy of prematurity showed a high incidence of refractive errors as early as before 3 years of age. This feature was different from the rest who manifested refractive errors after 4 years of age. The findings show the importance of early examination for refraction in mentally or physically handicapped children.
