The relationship between vision and juvenile delinquency.

R Snow

    Journal of the American Optometric Association
    |June 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Vision disorders are linked to juvenile delinquency. Recent screenings of delinquents revealed high rates of vision problems, particularly issues with binocularity and near exophorias.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Criminology
    • Developmental Psychology

    Background:

    • Existing research suggests a correlation between vision impairments and juvenile delinquency.
    • Undiagnosed vision problems may hinder educational and social development in youth.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence of vision disorders among juvenile delinquents.
    • To identify specific types of vision problems frequently observed in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Vision screenings were conducted on a group of juvenile delinquents in a metropolitan area.
    • Data collected included results from tests assessing visual acuity and binocular function.

    Main Results:

    • A significant incidence of vision disorders was identified in the screened population.
    • Poor binocularity, specifically excessive exophorias at near distances, was the most common issue found.

    Conclusions:

    • Vision disorders, especially those affecting binocularity, may be a contributing factor to juvenile delinquency.
    • Addressing these vision issues could potentially aid in delinquency prevention and intervention efforts.
