There is a high prevalence of ocular defects in children with developmental disabilities. This study evaluated visual disability in a group of 200 cerebral palsy (CP) patients and found that 68\% of the children had significant visual morbidity. These findings emphasize the need for an early ocular examination in patients with CP.
