Abstract: Purpose: To assess the prevalence of refractive errors in Mobius sequence. Methods: This study was carried out during the Annual Meeting of the Brazilian Mobius Society in November 2008. Forty-four patients diagnosed with the Mobius sequence were submitted to a comprehensive assessment, on the following specialties: ophthalmology, neurology, genetics, psychiatry, psychology and dentistry. Forty-three patients were cooperative and able to undertake the ophthalmological examination. Twenty-two (51.2 %) were male and 21 (48.8%) were female. The average age was 8.3 years (from 2 to 17 years). The visual acuity was evaluated using a retro-illuminated logMAR chart in cooperative patients. All children were submitted to exams on ocular motility, cyclopegic refraction, and fundus examination. Results: From the total of 85 eyes, using the spherical equivalent, the major of the eyes (57.6%) were emmetropics (>-0.50 D and <+ 2.00 D). The prevalence of astigmatism greater than or equal to 0.75 D was 40%. Conclusion: The prevalence of refractive errors, by the spherical equivalent, was 42.4% in this studied group.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência de erros refrativos em crianças portadoras da sequência de Möbius. MÉTODOS: Trabalho realizado durante o encontro anual da Associação Möbius do Brasil (AMoB) em novembro de 2008. Quarenta e quatro pacientes com diagnóstico de sequência de Möbius foram submetidos a avaliação multidisciplinar: oftalmológica, neurológica, genética, psiquiátrica, psicológica e odontológica. Quarenta e três pacientes colaboraram com exame oftalmológico. Vinte e dois (51,2 %) eram do sexo masculino e 21 (48,8 %) do sexo feminino. A idade média foi de 8,3 anos (2 a 17 anos). A medida da acuidade visual foi realizada com tabela logMAR retro-iluminada, nos pacientes que colaboravam. Todas as crianças foram submetidas a exame da motilidade ocular, refração sob cicloplegia e fundo de olho. RESULTADOS: Do total de 85 olhos estudados, usando o equivalente esférico, a maioria dos olhos (57,6%) são emétropes (>-0,50 D e <+2,00 D). A prevalência de astigmatismo maior que 0,75D foi 40%. CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência de erros refrativos, pelo equivalente esférico, no grupo estudado foi de 42,4%.
