Abstract

This paper reports the results of a survey conducted at a paediatric low vision clinic, of all children examined in the eight year period 1974 to 1981. The data provide a unique opportunity to identify the ophthalmic characteristics of children with low vision. The major cause of low vision in these children has been identified, examined and compared with the results of similar studies. Other characteristics studied are distance and near vision, the type of low vision aids used and the nature of primary education undertaken by the children. The results are discussed to provide information to improve paediatric low vision care.
