title: Eye disorders in children with celiac disease.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine the prevalence of eye disorders in children with celiac disease (CD).
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 67 patients with CD aged from 1 to 16 years and 38 age- and sex-matched healthy children were screened for decreased visual acuity, cataract, uveitis, and diabetic retinopathy at diagnosis and during follow-up.
  
  
  RESULTS
  None of the patients had eye disorders at diagnosis. Only 2 of the patients had accommodative dysfunction and the others had no change in visual function during the follow-up. One of the controls had accommodative dysfunction.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  No significant association was found between CD and eye disorders such as visual acuity, cataract, and uveitis among children.
