Abstract

We reviewed the medical records of our pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus clinic of our hospitals for the period 1 January, 2009 to 31 December, 2018, to identify children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We found that refractive errors (62%) and strabismus (63%) were the most common ocular manifestations in children with ASD. With timely management, amblyopia and strabismus could have favorable outcome. As amblyopia was significantly associated with intellectual disability (P=0.02), early ophthalmic monitoring via multidisciplinary approach is warranted.
