PG - 188.e1-188.e6 LID - S1091-8531(23)00133-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jaapos.2023.06.003 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Retinoblastoma (RB) and its associated treatments can significantly impact visual acuity. However, little is known regarding other measures of vision, such as contrast sensitivity or saccades. The aim of this study was to describe contrast sensitivity and saccades in children treated for retinoblastoma. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included children aged 5-17 years who had completed treatment for RB. Visual acuity, saccades via fixation analysis, and contrast sensitivity by Cardiff contrast sensitivity were assessed, and multivariable linear regression was performed. RESULTS: Eleven children were enrolled (mean age, 10.7 +/- 3.9 years). Treatment included enucleation (8 children [73%]) and chemotherapy (10 [91%]). Of the 11, one participant was unable to complete testing of saccades, and another was unable to complete contrast sensitivity testing. Decreased saccade parameters (velocity, latency, or accuracy) and impaired contrast sensitivity were observed in all 10 participants who underwent visual testing. Multivariable analysis revealed that worse logMAR visual acuity (B, -4.54 [-6.8, -2.2]; P = 0.004) and bilateral disease (B, -3.9 [-6.4, -1.4]; P = 0.009) were associated with worse contrast sensitivity. Germline disease was associated with decreased vertical saccade accuracy (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Decreased contrast sensitivity and impaired saccades were universally observed in this cohort of RB survivors. Comprehensive visual evaluation should be considered for all RB survivors to provide optimal rehabilitative services for these patients.
