Abstract
We try to show a relationship between strabismus and changes in reading skills. We have carried out a prospective study including 135children from 8to 11years (French level CE2to CM2). They were given an ophthalmologic and orthoptic examination and then divided into 4groups: strabismus with vertical deviation without binocular vision, accommodative strabismus with binocular vision, accommodative strabismus without binocular vision and control group (children without strabismus). Each child took 4validated reading tests: reading fluency, uncommon words reading, comparison of letters sequences without signification, searching "verbal index". Results are significantly lower in children with accommodative strabismus without binocular vision for two tests (reading fluency and uncommon words reading). In contrast, results for the two other tests do not differ significantly between the 4groups. Our study demonstrated lowered reading skills in tests of reading fluency in children with accommodative strabismus without binocular vision.
