A further child who did not wish to participate actively in the study is also reported. Visual acuity for near and distance, refractometer readings in cycloplegia, the presence of ocular motility disorders and nystagmus were recorded. Accommodation, convergence, colour vision and stereo acuity were assessed and the fundus and media were examined.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Six children (29%) in the study group had subnormal vision, although no child was visually impaired. Eleven (52%) showed manifest strabismus and 17 (81%) had a significant refractive error. Near visual acuity was normal in nearly all the children, but accommodation was defective in 10. Nine children had nystagmus and two had optic atrophy. No visual field defects were found.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The high incidence of ocular disturbances in children with spina bifida highlights the importance of
