NEAR VISUAL ACUITY IN PRE-SCHOOL VISION SCREENING: A COMPARISON OF TWO CHILDREN CHARTS OPTOTYPES

چکیده
Visual acuity measurement is a crucial part in an oculovisual examination. The purpose of this study was to compare near visual pre-school Children using two children charts – the Lea symbols chart and Sheridan Gardiner chart. One hundred fifty three (153) pre- school (72 males 81 females) between ages 3 5 years (mean age 4.23 ± 0.78 years) were recruited from five randomly selected nursery schools. Near measured monocularly binocularly after pre-testing had been done. An interval 5minutes allowed testing both charts. Age sex each child documented. Results showed no statistically significant difference acuities (p > 0.05). gender results

Clinical growth charts for pre-school children.
OBJECTIVE Growth standards are indicators for normal growth of the children and growth charts are important tools for their growth monitoring. Children from different populations are different in their growth pattern, it is important to create national standards for the growth of children in each population to develop local growth charts, and since these were not available in the Kingdom of Sau...
متن کاملScreening for visual defects in pre-school children.
There is no evidence to support the suggestion that a widespread programme of vision screening at age 3 1/2 should be instituted. Some of the practical problems and defects of such a programme are outlined. If the issues raised are to be resolved by further research, identification of preschoolchildren who have visual problems will be facilitated by a screening procedure involving refraction an...
متن کاملVisual impairment screening program among pre-school children in Hamadan
| December 2012 | 1196 l E t t E r t o E d it o r We found the reliability of optometrists’ diagnosis compared with ophthalmologist is good so that they can detect most of the visual impairment accurately but reliability of public health nurses’ diagnosis is intermediate to fair. Although the sensitivity of their diagnosis is relatively good, but the specificity of their diagnosis is poor and l...
متن کاملScreening for Significant Refractive Error Using a Combination of Distance Visual Acuity and Near Visual Acuity
PURPOSE To explore the effectiveness of using a series of tests combining near visual acuity (NVA) and distance visual acuity (DVA) for large-scale screenings for significant refractive error (SRE) in primary school children. METHOD Each participant underwent DVA, NVA and cycloplegic autorefraction measurements. SREs, including high myopia, high hyperopia and high astigmatism were analyzed. C...
متن کاملA Quantitative Investigation on the Effect of Edge Enhancement for Improving Visual Acuity at Different Levels of Contrast
Background: The major limitation in human vision is refractive error. Auxiliary equipment and methods for these people are not always available. In addition, limited range of accommodation in adult people when switching from a far point to a near point is not simply possible. In this paper, we are looking for solutions to use the facilities of digital image processing and displaying to improve ...
