Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Evaluation of 1910 1st-, 2nd- and 3rd-grade students indicated that visual function and academic performance as measured by reading were not positively related. Visual function tests included visual acuity, muscle balance, preferred eye and hand, color vision, refraction, sensory and motor function, and a writing and drawing task. Academic tests included the Metropolitan Readiness Test, the Cognitive Abilities Test, the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the teacher''s assessment of reading level. A simple test which can be completed during the office visit and interpreted by the ophthalmologist in the office included drawing, copying and writing. A segment of this test, the draw a bicycle test, can be used by an ophthalmologist to demonstrate the difference between vision and performance when examining a child up to 3rd-grade level who is referred because of school failure.
