Detailed Description
In recent years, the incidence of autism has increased year by year, which has brought a heavy burden to society and families. For the special group of children with autism spectrum disorder, previous studies focused on the lack of comprehensive and accurate visual function characteristics and defects of this group. In the early stage, it was believed that there was a certain correlation between visual impairment and autism, and some patients with visual impairment were misdiagnosed as autism. Moreover, some studies have shown that the incidence of refractive errors and oblique amblyopia in autistic children is significantly higher than that in normal children. This study mainly includes two parts: On the one hand, investigate the autism children in Tianjin area to understand the incidence of eye diseases. On the other hand, children with eye problems were given relevant interventions, such as optometry, amblyopia training, strabismus surgery, etc., to assess the impact of the corresponding treatment on the quality of life of the children and their primary caregivers.

- refractive error [6 months]
Patients with ametropia were given endoscopic treatment, followed up for at least half a year, and the influence of endoscopic treatment on the quality of life of children, adolescents and primary caregivers was observed
- strabismus [6 months]
Patients with strabismus requiring surgical correction were given surgical treatment, followed up for at least half a year, and the effects on the quality of life of children, adolescents and primary caregivers were observed
- amblyopia [6 months]
Patients with amblyopia were treated with amblyopia, followed up for at least half a year, and the influence of the quality of life of children and adolescents and the main caregivers after optometry was observed
Secondary Outcome Measures
- OCTA [6months]
Fundus blood perfusion and retinal thickness were observed
- eye tractor [6months]
The correlation between eye movement and visual function was assessed
