Researchers ask so many questions about obscure topics, sometimes it is surprising when some topics are studied for the first time.
A study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology claims to be first to have studied how visual impairment impacts the quality of life in children between the ages of 3 and 16. A trial including 24 children who had impaired vision and 24 who had normal vision, showed that the kids with sight deficiencies scored almost 36% lower on quality of life questionnaires. Researchers indicated that better accommodations need to be made for children with visual disabilities. Source:British Journal of Ophthalmology
Binocular conditions, which generally refer to problems that make it difficult for the eyes to work together, can often affect kids’ ability to read, concentrate, an enjoy sports activities.
