Abstract
Adolescent scoliosis is one of the most common surgical disorders of the pediatric spine. With timely detection and early treatment, most scoliotic children can avoid major and expensive surgery. Vision problems are also frequently found at an early age and can take a toll on individuals quality of life. However, scoliosis, a severe health hazard to adolescents, is often accompanied by vision problems clinically, including myopia, astigmatism, strabismus, amblyopia, horizontal paralysis, and blindness. And people with genetic defects have a higher probability of suffering both spinal problems and vision problems than those with nongenetic defects. However, many individuals viewed scoliosis and vision problems as 2 irrelevant diseases. This review searched PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Web of Science for studies on adolescent, scoliosis, eye diseases, myopia, strabismus, spinal disorders, and vision problems for almost 3 decades, and thus confirmed the potential relationship between adolescent scoliosis and vision problems.
