Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the condition of refractive correction on wearing glasses currently of elementary school children and their accommodative ability in Jinju city.
Methods: Objective refraction, subjective refraction, amplitude of accommodation, negative and positive accommodation, accommodative facility, and dynamic retinoscopy were examined on 60 elemenary school children who aged 8~12 wearing myopia-corrected glasses.
Results: The condition of refractive corrections was distributed that a case of full correction was 11.7%, a case of low correction with more than 0.8 visual acuity (VA) was 10%, and a case of low correction with less than 0.8 VA was 78.3% in wearing glasses currently. In results from examination of accommodative ability, the number of children having accommodative anomaly is 8 persons (13.3%), they were divided into accommodation insufficiency (4 persons), accommodative facility insufficiency (2 persons), accommodation excess (1 person), and accommodation insufficiency related to ocular function (1 person).
Conclusions: It is demanded a periodic inspection of refractive correction to growing children, and the refractive correction after due consideration to accommodative ability is really needed.
