Visual and Oculomotor Function in Developmental Dyslexia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

CMClara Martínez-PérezAOAna Paula OliveiraIBIsabel Baltazar

Key Points

  • This research aims to examine the visual and oculomotor functions associated with developmental dyslexia in children.
  • Systematic review of literature on visual and oculomotor anomalies in dyslexia.
  • Meta-analysis of studies assessing binocular function and oculomotor skills.
  • Evaluation of the relevance of visual anomalies to reading difficulties.
  • Consistent findings of binocular and oculomotor anomalies in children with dyslexia.
  • Increased visual effort during reading linked to these anomalies.
  • Potential benefits of targeted assessments in vision care for dyslexic children.

Abstract

Children with developmental dyslexia exhibit consistent binocular and oculomotor anomalies that may increase visual effort during reading. Incorporating targeted assessment of these functions into vision care may complement multidisciplinary management. Further research is needed to clarify their clinical relevance.
