Abstract

While previous studies have demonstrated significant eye problems in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), refractive errors have not been extensively studied in the context of ASDs. We systematically reviewed twenty-eight articles to assess whether refractive errors are linked with ASDs, and to determine the prevalence of refractive errors in children with ASDs. We found no significant association between ASDs and myopia or hyperopia, but a significantly increased risk of astigmatism was observed in children with ASDs. Pooled results of single-arm studies revealed a 14.1% prevalence of myopia, a 9.8% prevalence of hyperopia, and a 16.5% prevalence of astigmatism in children with ASDs. Future studies should incorporate a prospective design with age-matched comparison groups.

与自闭症谱系障碍有关的儿童和青少年屈光不正:系统回顾与元分析
以往的研究表明,自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童存在严重的眼部问题,但有关自闭症谱系障碍的屈光不正研究却并不广泛。我们系统回顾了 28 篇文章,以评估屈光不正是否与自闭症谱系障碍有关,并确定屈光不正在自闭症谱系障碍儿童中的患病率。我们发现 ASD 与近视或远视之间没有明显关联,但观察到 ASD 儿童出现散光的风险明显增加。单臂研究的汇总结果显示,在 ASD 儿童中,近视发生率为 14.1%,远视发生率为 9.8%,散光发生率为 16.5%。未来的研究应采用前瞻性设计,并设置年龄匹配的对比组。

期刊介绍: The Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders publishes original articles that provide critical reviews of topics across the broad interdisciplinary research fields of autism spectrum disorders. Topics range from basic to applied and include but are not limited to genetics, neuroscience, diagnosis, applied behavior analysis, psychopharmacology, incidence, prevalence, etiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, measurement of treatment effects, education, perception and cognition. Topics across the life span are appropriate. In addition, given the high rates of comorbid conditions, the interface of sleep disorders, feeding problems, motor difficulties, ADHD, anxiety, depression and other disorders with autism spectrum disorders are appropriate. The Journal aims for an international audience as reflected in the editorial board.
