摘要
The present study examined whether children and adolescents can correctly report dry eyes and blurred distance vision, two visual problems associated with computer vision syndrome. Participants are 913 children and adolescents aged 6-17. They were asked to report their visual problems, including dry eyes and blurred distance vision, and received an eye examination, including tear film break-up time (TFBUT) and visual acuity (VA). Inconsistency was found between participants%26apos; reports of dry eyes and TFBUT results among all 913 participants as well as for all of four subgroups. In contrast, consistency was found between participants%26apos; reports of blurred distance vision and VA results among 873 participants who had never worn glasses as well as for the four subgroups. It was concluded that children and adolescents are unable to report dry eyes correctly; however, they are able to report blurred distance vision correctly. Three practical implications of the findings were discussed.Practioner Summary: Little is known about children%26apos;s ability to report their visual problems, an issue critical to diagnosis and treatment of children%26apos;s computer vision syndrome. This study compared children%26apos;s self-reports and clinic examination results and found children can correctly report blurred distance vision but not dry eyes.
