10 Fragile X Syndrome Symptoms
Symptom #7: Visual Issues
Visual issues are also seen among individuals with fragile X syndrome. Some examples include strabismus and amblyopia. Strabismus occurs when the eyes are not aligned with each other when one is looking at an object. It can result in loss of depth or amblyopia. Amblyopia or lazy eye results in decreased vision and is the commonest cause of vision impairment in one eye among younger adults and children.
Patching or surgery are usually required for the treatment of strabismus if there is an early diagnosis. Refractive errors are also common among patients with fragile X syndrome.
