Background: Ocular problems are more common in children with hearing problems than in normal children. Neglected visual impairment could aggravate educational and social disability.  Aim and Design: To detect and treat visual impairment, if any, in hearing–impaired children.  Observational, clinical case series of hearing–impaired children. Materials and Methods: Hearing–impaired children referred from ENT underwent detailed visual acuity testing, refraction, external ocular examination and fundoscopy. Ocular motility testing was also performed.  Refractive errors and squint were treated as per standard practice. Results: The study involved 100 hearing–impaired students between four and 20 years of age. A quarter of them (24%) had ocular problems. Refractive errors were the most common morbidity (18.5%), but only 12 children were using appropriate spectacle correction at presentation. Fifty children had visual acuity less than 20/80 at presentation. Other common conditions included strabismus in 12 (1.3%) children, and retinal pigmentary dystrophy in five (0.6%) children. Conclusion: Ocular problems are common in hearing–impaired children. Screening for ocular problems should be made mandatory in hearing–impaired children, as they use their visual sense to compensate for the poor auditory sense.
