Incidence of vision difficulties in children with learning disabilities.
The article discusses the incidence of three categories of visual difficulties found in a learning disabled population seen at the Southern California College of Optometry. Four of the areas showing the largest incidence were also examined in a nonlearning disabled clinic population. The relationship between the two populations shows a much larger incidence of these problems in the learning disabled group, although the problems were noted in both groups.
