Article Abstract

Purpose: To assess binocular control in children with dyslexia.

Methods: Cross-sectional study with 26 children who were submitted to a set of ophthalmologic and visual tests.

Results: In the dyslexic children less eye movement control in voluntary convergence and unstable binocular fixation was observed.

Conclusion: The results support the hypothesis that developmental dyslexia might present deficits which involve the magnocellular pathway and a part of the posterior cortical attentional network.
