Table.
Visual Impairment | Prevalence (%) | Visual Functional Deficits [1,8,16–19,22] |
---|---|---|
Accommodative Deficits | 31–41 | Difficulty with reading and writing tasks, diplopia, blurred vision |
Vergence Deficits | 40–56 | Difficulty with reading and writing tasks, diplopia, blurred vision |
Strabismus | 26–32 | Deficits of binocularity, depth perception, and eye movements; potential visual field deficits; double vision; and balance deficits |
Pursuit/Saccade Deficits | 29 | Difficulty with reading and writing tasks, diplopia, blurred vision |
Diplopia | 19 | Blurred vision, balance deficits, nausea, reading deficits, visual motor deficits |
Cranial Nerve Palsy | 7 | Limited eye movements, diplopia, eyelid droop, abnormal pupil (glare issues), balance deficits, nausea, reading deficits |
Fixation Deficits | 9–13 | Difficulty with reading and writing tasks, diplopia, blurred vision |
Visual Field Deficits | 46 (39 TBI, 67 CVA) | Difficulty with reading and writing tasks, ADL and IADL deficits, mobility deficit |
Visual Acuity Deficits | 21 | Difficulty with reading and writing tasks, difficulty with mobility and navigation, ADL and IADL deficits |
Contrast Sensitivity Glare | 82 | Blurred vision, mobility deficits, ADL and IADL deficits (difficulty recognizing objects and faces) |
ADL = activities of daily living, CVA = cerebrovascular accident, IADL = instrumental ADL, TBI = traumatic brain injury.
