Abstract
Children with autism and related disorders reportedly have an increased prevalence
(40%) of ocular disorders, and comprehensive eye examinations by a pediatric ophthalmologist
are recommended. Examinations can be very time consuming, expensive, and stressful
for the child. A photoscreener such as the plusoptiX S08 may be a cost-effective,
time-saving, and less invasive method for testing patients with autism. The purpose
of this study was to determine the efficacy of photoscreening with the plusoptiX S08
in detecting amblyopia risk factors in children with autism.
