Abstract

Based on a qualitative study of a broad and varied body of literature, this review of literature reveals the potential roles of accommodation and vergence in children with dyslexia. With a thorough literature study, this review of literature aims to provide an all-encompassing perspective on the binocular vision parameters in children with dyslexia and its significance in clinical practice in this review, addressing the lack of a comprehensive study in this area. By summarizing the latest research, this article is a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, educators, and individuals interested in comprehending the relationship between dyslexia and binocular vision and exploring potential connections and implications. Both original and review papers were examined by searching research databases from 1991 to 2022, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Ovid. The ROBINS-I risk of bias assessment approach for non-randomized trials was used to evaluate the quality of the included papers. This review includes a total of eighteen articles. Because only the dyslexic population was studied in this study, all of the studies were non-randomized. Changes in Ocular parameters, the function of Accommodation, and Vergence in the dyslexic population were observed and included in this study. This review of literature provides educators and clinicians with crucial insights and awareness to enhance their understanding of the parameters associated with non-strabismic binocular vision disorders in children with dyslexia, as well as strategies for detection. Evidence-based guidelines can be created for controlling and assessing binocular vision parameters in children with dyslexia and their importance in clinical practice.
