Table 1. Clinical characteristics of dyslexic and non-dyslexic children.
TNO | NPC | Phoria Far | Phoria Near | Div. Far | Div. Near | Conv. Far | Conv. Near | |
Dyslexic children | 40 | 3 | ortho | ortho | 4 | 10 | 17 | 30 |
Non-dyslexic children | 40 | 3 | ortho | Exo 2 | 4 | 16* | 20 | 30 |
Clinical characteristics of all children tested. Median values for binocular vision (stereoacuity test, TNO measured in seconds of arc); near point of convergence (NPC measured in cm); heterophoria at far and near distance, measured in prism diopters; ortho = orthophoria; exo = exophoria; vergence fusional amplitudes (divergence and convergence) at far and near distance, measured in prism diopters. Asterisks indicate that the value is significantly different for the group of dyslexic children (p<0.01).
