Abstract

ABSTRACT: Accommodative insufficiency or Accommodative disorder is a sensory-motor abnormality, non-strabismic binocular vision abnormality, which is manifested by a failure to focus for near vision, with a decreased degree of accommodation in comparison with age-matched norms. The symptoms include vague, blurry near vision, headache, visual exhaustion, difficulty in reading, eye strain and sleepiness. This study has tried to explore the impact of anemia on accommodative disorder among college children and found a correlation between them. The results showed a statistically significant association between anemia and the occurrence of accommodative disorders. Hence nutrition education was given as a means to impart knowledge on overcoming anaemia and accommodative disorder among the selected college students.
