Objectives: Since 80% of the information we get from the environment comes in through our eyes (Anshel JR, 1999), uncorrected visual problems negatively affect children’s educational process and perceptual development. The objectives of this study were: 1st, to document the prevalence of learning related vision problem in primary school children. 2nd, to compare responses of children with those of parents on visual symptoms. Lastly, to determine if there is an association between visual symptoms and academic performance.
Methods: We administered visual-symptom quality of life questionnaire developed by Oklahoma College of Optometry in Vision Development to 1031 primary school children and their parent. Visual symptoms responded by children and their parents were compared using Independent Sample t-test and the relation between visual symptoms and academic performance were calculated using Pearson Correlation tests.
Results and Conclusions: The number of children who need further professional evaluation, that is visual-symptom scores were , reported by children(25%) was greater than that reported by parents(16%). And visual-symptom scores reported by children were significantly higher than those reported by parents in every grade(p<0.01, p<0.001). Visual symptoms reported by both children and parents were found to be inversely correlated to academic performance in every academic area and most of their correlations were statistically significant(p<0.05). Therefore, children with more visual-symptom reported by both group had negative effects on children’s academic performance.
