Retrospective analysis of refractive errors in children with vision impairment.

Purpose: Emmetropization is the reduction in neonatal refractive errors that occurs after birth. Ocular disease may affect this process. We aimed to determine the relative frequency of ocular conditions causing vision impairment in the pediatric population and characterize the refractive anomalies present.

Reading performance in children with low vision.

PURPOSE: While educators and optometrists are concerned with reading efficiency in children with low vision, in most low vision assessments, children's reading performance is assessed only by a brief evaluation of reading fluency. We examined the relationships between clinical vision measures and reading performance in children with low vision. METHODS: Subjects were 71 students with low vision, aged seven to 18 years.
