Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology & Eye Science (IJOES) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: Dyslexia is the most common learning disability, accounts for 5 to 17% of the school-aged children. Dyslexia is defined as an impairment in which the child faces difficulties learning, reading and writing relative to IQ. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the central and peripheral visual function in a group of dyslexic children who write from right to left direction. Materials/Patients and Methods: Twenty dyslexic eyes and 20 normal eyes were examined in this study. The visual examinations consisted of measuring distant and near visual acuity, refraction and visual field evaluation using an Octopus 101 automated perimeter. Foveal sensitivity was also measured with static perimetry, and then kinetic perimetry in two target brightness levels: 15 and 20 dB and data were analyzed by SPSS 17 statistical software
