Abstract

A study was conducted on 60 students (30 male and 30 female) in a Cantonment School of Bangladesh for observing their vision status. Result showed that out of 60 students myopia was the highest in male 83.33% and in female this was 53.33%. Anisometropia was the highest in female 36.67% and in male 16.67%. Hyperopia, amblyopia, and antimetropia were not found in male but in female. Maximum male students were affected vision problems at the age 16 years whereas in female students this was 13 years. Left eye problems were same in both students (13.33%) but right eye problems were higher in female (23.33%) than the male students (3.33%). Female students’ vision problems were related with their family (80%) whereas in male students this was 66.67%. Actually, this was not genetical but it is sure that parents’ unhealthy food habit influenced students’ food habit at all. Close-up prolongs learning (from seat bench to white board, computer, smart phone, book reading etc) were the real causes of vision problems of the students. Myopic male students (83.33%) were showed higher vision problems than the female students because of their continuous use of smart phone.
