Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose:The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between non-strabismic binocular dysfunctions and academic achievement for primary school children.
Methods:A total of 1,123 parents and their children aged 8-
13 years responded to the College of Optometrists in Vision Development Quality of Life (COVD-QOL)
questionnaire. Among the all participants, 123 children who have ≥ 20 of visual symptom scores, no amblyopia,
no strabismus, no any ocular and systemic pathology, and no contact lenses wearing were chosen for this study
finally. Binocular functions were evaluated for final subjects.
Results:Of 123 primary school children who have
criteria-eligible symptoms 93 had non-strabismic binocular dysfunctions. Accommodative dysfunction was
significantly correlated to subjects of science and English, and vergence dysfunction was also significantly
correlated to Korean, mathematics, social science, science and English in the final subjects.
Conclusions: Correlations between academic achievement and accommodative/vergence dysfunctions were statistically significant. Therefore, accommodative/vergence dysfunctions may be factors to affect academic achievement.
