Vision Screening of Elementary Students with Learning Disabilities in Greece.
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate and document the visual performance of elementary students identified with learning disabilities in Greece. Methods: Students in elementary school who were previously diagnosed and on record with the school district as having a learning disability participated in...

Methods: Students in elementary school who were previously diagnosed and on record with the school district as having a learning disability participated in this research. Optometric tests were performed according to standard protocols to evaluate visual acuity, near point of convergence, oculomotor function, stereopsis, fusion, accommodation flexibility, and vergence facility. Results: None of the 82 students classified with learning difficulties passed all of the optometric tests. Eight (9.7%) students failed VA, 29 (35.3%) failed NPC, 55 (67.1%) failed accommodative facility, 44 (53.6%) failed vergence facility, 15 (18.3%) failed stereo acuity, 11 (13.4%) failed fusion, and 56 (68.3%) failed the Maples oculomotor test. The majority of students failed more than 2 tests (89.1 %). Conclusion: Greek students with learning disabilities were found to have poor performance in functional vision testing, with 100% of subjects failing at least one visual function test. An analytical evaluation of vision before or at the same time as the evaluation for learning disabilities is crucial. If interventions are offered to every child with learning disabilities in order to overcome visual restrictions, remediation of the identified visual deficiencies may improve school performance. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
