title: Visual control in children with developmental dyslexia.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
