STUDY OF DISTANT VISION IN SCHOOL CHILDREN
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Background and objectives: A normal distant vision is necessary for every student to learn efficiently in school. Refractive errors which are usually present in the childhood can continue in the adult life. Methods: To undertake this study, 78 school children of 11 to 17 years of age, from 7th and 8th standard of Behrampura municipal school No. 3, Ahmedabad, were examined for their distant vision and visual acuity by using Snellen’s chart. This data was analyzed statistically. Results: Among 78 students, 21 students (26.92 percent) had distant visual acuity less than 6/6. Only two students had visual acuity for distant vision 6/18. No student had visual acuity less than 6/18. . Among 78 students, 32 were vegetarian and 46 were non vegetarian. Interpretation and conclusion: In this study, we have found 26.92 percent students having visual acuity for distant vision less than 6/6. But no significant association was found between visual acuity for distant vision and gender or dietary habits like vegetarian or non vegetarian.
