Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to correlate effect of visual acuity in the presence of ocular deviation. Methods: A pilot, cross sectional, observational study was performed at tertiary eye care centers. Subjects with Ocular deviation between 10 to 40 prism diopters, Corrected distance Visual Acuity should be greater than 6/18 and Age should be between 10 to 40 years of age were included in the study. Visual acuity was assessed with Log Mar chart and recorded in log units. Results: 30 subjects were included in the study. Out of that 16 subjects were in the age group of 11-20 years, 12 subjects were in the age group of 21-30 years and 2 subjects were in the age group of 31-40 years. 60% subjects were Female and 40% subjects were Male. Mean scores of visual parameters were taken. Visual acuity was deteriorated to 0.193 log units Conclusions: In cases of ocular deviation, visual acuity deteriorates significantly.

Keywords: Ocular Deviation; Visual Acuity
