OBJECTIVES: A decrease in vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gain can lead to retinal slip, negatively impacting visual acuity. During reading, eye movements are essential for smoothly transitioning between lines and words. Impaired VOR may disrupt these movements, resulting in additional corrective actions and affecting reading speed. This study aims to explore the relationship between dynamic visual acuity and rapid naming skills in children with dyslexia, compare dynamic visual acuity between children with dyslexia and neurotypical children, and assess gender-related differences. METHODS: Dynamic visual acuity was assessed using a functional head impulse test, followed by a rapid naming test. RESULTS: A moderately significant relationship was found between left lateral (LL) 5000°/s CONCLUSION: Children with dyslexia had lower dynamic visual acuity, and girls were more markedly affected. In addition, a moderately negative association was observed between dynamic visual acuity and rapid naming time in children with dyslexia.
