Vision conditions are very common in those with autism. Common signs that may indicate a visual issue includes light sensitivity, turning the head when looking at things, trouble focusing on objects, eye rolling, and rubbing eyes or waving fingers in front of eyes (visual stimming). Those with autism may benefit from vision therapy if there are binocular conditions present.
Those with down syndrome are at higher risk for visual conditions that can affect their visual development such as cataracts, nystagmus or high amounts of farsightedness. These visual conditions put you more at risk for developing binocular issues such as strabismus and amblyopia. If this does occur, vision therapy can help correct these issues.
The most commonly found vision problem in those with cerebral palsy is strabismus, which also increases the risk for amblyopia or lazy eye. Since cerebral palsy affects motor function and the central nervous system, it is important for those with cerebral palsy to be assessed for binocular vision conditions involving the eye alignment, eye focusing and the eye tracking systems along with visual information processing systems.
