ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the prevalence of refractive errors and strabismus in children with tuberous sclerosis and in control subjects.METHODS:
Twenty-three children with tuberous sclerosis and 151 control subjects were evaluated. All children underwent cycloplegic autorefraction or retinoscopy, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, and dilated fundus examination. Ocular alignment was assessed by the Hirschberg, Krimsky, or prism cover test.RESULTS:
The total prevalence of hypermetropia and amblyopia was significantly higher in patients with tuberous sclerosis (P = .035) than in the control subjects (P = .002).CONCLUSION:
A high prevalence of hypermetropia seems to be an additional feature of tuberous sclerosis. Early screening for this amblyogenic factor is indicated in patients with tuberous sclerosis.
