Abstract

The aim of this study was to gain insight into the visual functioning of children with profound intellectuual and multiple disabilities (PIMD). A mixed methods study was performed, determining cross-sectional quantitative ophthalmological/orthoptic data, and qualitative observational data with a standardized research protocol (SRP) of 73 children with PIMD. Descriptive statistics and correlations were used for analyses of the data. Using ophthalmological data, 90.4% of the participants were found visually impaired. Based on the visual acuity (VA) testing, 49.6% of the participants had an impaired VA (
