Abstract

Abstract: Untreated visual disorder can result in mild to severe visual problems, and even blindness. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of decreased visus in students with special needs in SLB Kasih Angelia Bitung of academic year 2017/2018. This was a descriptive prospective study. There were 61 students with special needs in this study. Of the total 61 students, 29 students had decreased vision and 32 students had normal visus. Refractive anomaly cases were higher in males versus females, and dominated by age group of 16-20 years. The prevalences of hypermetropia, astigmatism, myopia, and multiple refractive anomalies disorders were 31% (9 students), 27.6% (8 students), 20.7% (6 students), 20.7% (6 students) respectively. Conclusion: Decreased visus due to refractive anomalies were more prevalent in male students, age group of 16-20 years, and in students with deaf disability. Hypermetropia was the most common type of refractive anomalies.
