Temperament and personality traits in children with high hyperopia may influence their response to uncorrected vision. Fear was significantly higher in one group, suggesting a link between psychological factors and visual outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Child Psychology

Background:

  • High hyperopia in children can lead to ametropic amblyopia and affect visual development.
  • Understanding psychological factors may explain individual differences in response to uncorrected refractive errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure temperament and investigate personality traits in children with high hyperopia.
  • To explore how these psychological factors influence the response to uncorrected high hyperopia.

Main Methods:

  • Two groups of 15 children (ages 5-12) with high hyperopia were studied: one with orthotropia and amblyopia, the other with refractive accommodative esotropia.
  • Temperament was assessed using the Children's Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) Short Form, and personality was evaluated with the Children's Apperception Test (CAT-H).

Main Results:

  • Children with accommodative esotropia (group 2) showed more discomfort, fear, and shyness compared to the other group (group 1), with a significant difference in fear (P=0.045).
  • Group 1 children exhibited more high-intensity pleasure and smiling/laughter.
  • Aggression toward parents was common in both groups; group 1 showed more passive-aggression, while group 2 displayed obstinacy and narcissistic injury themes.

Conclusions:

  • Temperament and personality traits may modulate how children respond to uncorrected high hyperopia.
  • Further research with larger cohorts is warranted to confirm these associations.
