Dr. N. Prema

Abstract :

A refractive error is an error in the focusing of light by the eye and a frequent reason for reduced visual acuity. By weå corrective glasses or contact lenses at the earliest possible, the problem can be rectified. The aim of this study is to investigate if any improvement in reading abilities of students (with refractive error) after their vision correction. The investigator has selected VII standard students from two schools in Maraimalai Nagar, Kanchipuram District. Out of 126 students 49 of them are identified as vision defective ( all are Myopic only ) with the help of Optometrist. From 49 students 46 of them were taken for this study, since the remaining 3 of them are already weå eye glasses. Pre–test was conducted on reading ability of students. Since it is a two group design, one control group consists of 20 students and one experimental group consists of 26 students. Only the experimental group students were offered eye glasses. After a period of seven months, post–test was conducted on reading ability of both control and experimental group students. The judgment of this investigation is, a remarkable improvement has been observed in the post–test of experimental group students.
