It has been estimated that people with learning disabilities are ten times more likely to have specific ocular conditions,⁴³  including:

1. amblyopia
2. blepharitis – common in people with Down’s syndrome
3. cataract
4. concomitant strabismus
5. cortical visual impairment
6. entropion – common in people with Down’s syndrome
7. field defects
8. high refractive error 
9. impaired accommodation
10. keratoconus
11. nystagmus
12. reduced vision.

Some people with learning disabilities have a wider range of health problems than the general population and may have other disabilities, including hearing impairment.
