Abstract
Children with and without anomalous visual function will be examined to determine how abnormal visual function may affect reading ability. A total of 110 children with abnormal visual function (aged 6-11 year olds) and 562 children with normal visual function (NVF) participated in the study. As well as autorefraction, multiple measures were evaluated, including visual acuity, ocular alignment, near point of convergence, accommodation, stereopsis, and vergence. Our analysis of the oral reading used 34 words from a list of verbs. Errors were measured, accuracy was determined (percentage of success) and speed (words per minute - wpm) was measured to gauge reading abilities. The sociodemographic data was collected from 670 parents and 34 teachers.AVF-affected children made more errors (3.00 errors compared to 1.00 errors; p0.001), had lower accuracy (91.18% compared to 97.06%); and had slower reading speeds (AVF-24.71 wpm compared to NVF- 27.39 wpm; p0.007). AVF=31.41 wpm; NVF=32.54 wpm; p=0.113) was not statistically significant differencing between the two groups in 3rd grade. Children with uncorrected hyperopia and astigmatism performed differently on reading tests (p=0.003). Students in the second, third, and fourth grades are less likely than students in the first grade to have reading impairments. Children with AVF had difficulty reading in the first grade. Increasing reading abilities diminish with age. AVF children might need an eye evaluation to be diagnosed as dyslexics due to their slow reading characteristics
