Abstract:
Children with strabismus (crossed eyes" or "squint) may have functional issues with reading and other academic activities, possibly resulting in reduction of overall academic achievement. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the prevalence of strabismus and its role with total of 995 students randomly divided between rural and urban area during camp with their relative histories, screen time, outdoor activity, reading time and ocular examination. We found difference for all the variables with no statistical significance. Hence, it is essential to monitor these children closely and intervene before their situation deteriorates to prevent this condition from adversely affecting their vision or academic performance.
