“…In contrast to our study, Perveen et al study showed that (42%) had myopic astigmatism as the most common refractive error then (30%) eyes had hyperopic astigmatism, 20 (18%) eyes had hyperopia and 11 (10%) eyes had myopia 15 .…”

Study epidemiological characteristics and Prevalence of nystagmus among pediatric cases presented to Mansoura Ophthalmic Center through one year. Method: a prospective cross-sectional study included all nystagmus cases in children aged (0-18) years attending outpatient clinics of Mansoura Ophthalmic Center in the period between April 2018 and April 2019. Complete ocular examination and nystagmus assessment were done.Results: Number of children presented to outpatient clinics in Mansoura Ophthalmic Center was 24154, 13230 were males and 10924 were females. The prevalence of nystagmus among these cases was 72 (0.3%), 42 were males and 30 were females. Median age among nystagmus cases was 5.5 years (0.33-17). Median BCVA was 0.77800 logMAR (0.00 -2.400). Abnormal head posture (AHP) was detected in 24 cases (33.3%). Strabismus was present in 47.2 % of cases. Abnormal findings in the children referred for investigations were 71.4 % in ERG, 43% in VEP, 24.5% in MRI brain. Etiological types of nystagmus of studied cases were sensory nystagmus in 36 cases (50 %), neurological cause in 13 cases (18.1%), infantile idiopathic nystagmus in 8 cases (11.1%), fusional maldevelopment syndrome in 6 cases (8.9%), spasmus nutans in 4 cases (5.6%), gaze evoked nystagmus & combined sensory and neurological nystagmus both were 2 cases (2.8%), one case (1.4%) of mono ocular nystagmus of childhood. Conclusion:The most common etiological types; were sensory nystagmus followed by neurological, infantile idiopathic, fusional maldevelopment syndrome in the same order. Strabismus and abnormal head posture (AHP) are common in nystagmus.

“…However, in a study conducted in Karachi, there was no preponderance of hyperopia; this may be because the age bracket of the patients was 5 -15 years. 18 Visual delay was detected in a significantly high number (19.8%) of children, and interestingly, 42% of these children were hyperopic, while 21%had esotropia. Visually challenged infants with poor or absent accommodation with or without hyperopia must deal with blurred near vision.…”

Purpose: To study the frequency of ocular abnormalities in developmentally delayed children of a private pediatric ophthalmology clinic. Study Design: Observational cross-sectional. Place and Duration of Study: Children eye care, Lahore, from October 2020 to October 2022. Methods: Children aged five years and younger referred by a pediatrician for visual assessment were included in the study. The referring pediatrician made diagnosis of delayed milestones. A detailed ocular examination was done to rule out presence of any ocular abnormality. Data were collected, and statistical analysis was done using Excel (Microsoft 2015, version 15.15) and Stata (version 13). Results: A total of 406 children were included in the study. Forty one percent were in the age bracket of 1 – 2 years. There were 63% boys. Among all, 77% had compromised vision, of which 60% had abnormal ocular findings, while cortical visual impairment (CVI) was seen in 17%. The most common ocular issue was refractive error (30.29%), of which hyperopia was seen in 70.7% and myopia in 29.3%. Strabismus was seen in 15.5% of children and exotropia being more prevalent. Visual delay was detected in 19.8%. Out of these 42% had hyperopia, whereas 21% had esotropia. Conclusion: The significant association of ocular abnormalities with development delay is a cause of great concern as this can lead to an increase in overall morbidity. A timely examination by a pediatric ophthalmologist would lead to early detection of any ocular abnormality and convenient management, preventing undue visual impairment.
