- W2557128385 abstract "Visual acuity is the acuteness or clarity of vision which is dependent on the shortness of the retinal focus within the eye, and the sensitivity of the interpretative faculty of the brain. Visual impairment has good prognosis if it is detected early as it is amenable to treatment, both through the use of proper eyeglasses and lifestyle modification. The aim of this study is to determine the visual acuity status amongst secondary school students in Nnewi, Anambra State, south east Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using the multi- stage sampling technique amongst 134 secondary school students in Nnewi. The mean age of the respondents was 12.9± 3.1 years. More of the respondents were females 78(58.2%) while 56(41.8) were males. The prevalence of visual acuity impairment was 26.1%. There was a translational relationship between impaired visual acuity and academic performance (P < 0.05). Majority of the respondents 129(96.3%), studied at night, and a good number, 59 (45.8%) used rechargeable lantern while 47(36.4%), used electric bulb. However, 16(12.4%) used kerosene lanterns and 7(5.4%), used candle light. Only 3.7% of the students underwent pre-medical fitness examination eye-check as a prerequisite for secondary school admission. The prevalence of visual acuity status below 6/6 amongst the students was high, and this is not good for school children in their formative years. Proper health education, early detection and appropriate management of impaired vision are recommended." @default.
