Purpose:
To describe the ocular and refractive findings in patients with Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome.
Methods:
Seventeen patients with Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome were evaluated retrospectively. All children underwent complete ophthalmologic examination.
Results:
Of the patients evaluated, 88.2% had an ocular or refractive finding, 58.8% had myopia (degenerative in three cases), 52.9% had astigmatism, 11.7% had an-isometropia, 17.6% had strabismus, 11.7% had retinitis pigmentosa, 5.9% had keratoconus, 5.9% had optic atrophy, and 5.9% had nystagmus.
Conclusion:
Early and regular ophthalmologic assessment is required to prevent visual loss as a result of amblyogenic factors in children with Laurence-Moon-Biedl syndrome.
