Table 1. Clinical characteristics of dyslexic and non-dyslexic children.

TNO NPC Phoria Far Phoria Near Div. Far Div. Near Conv. Far Conv. Near

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).
