Abstract
Recent literature concerning visual handicaps of mentally handicapped people was reviewed. Topic areas considered were etiology and epidemiology, visual acuity, color vision and educational techniques. A large proportion of mentally handicapped people are apparently affected by some form of visual handicap. The extent to which further specialization of care and training techniques is required to limit the extra disadvantages imposed by such defects was discussed.
