Abstract: Children with special needs face many eye problems that should be promptly addressed. Many eye diseases can be treatable if discovered in infancy. There is data showing these children have a higher prevalence of refractive errors than their non-disabled peers. If diagnosed and treated promptly, refractive errors can provide a good quality of life for special needs children.
