Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Medical Research - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the connection between indications of binocular single vision anomalies and punctum proximum among university students of India. Method: This was a cross-sectional prospective study of 90 randomly selected subjects age ranging from18-26 years. The subjects were paramedical students studying in A.J Institute of medical science, Mangalore. After going through a detailed ophthalmic examination including standard binocular vision examination if the subject met the inclusion criteria, according to CISS questionnaire students were divided into two groups (asymptomatic and symptomatic).NPC was measured with RAF rule asking the subject to focus on a single vertical line as a target on the rule. After data collection, data were analyzed in an excel spreadsheet using, paired t-test. Result: NPC break and recovery value are more in symptomatic (9.479±0.3653 and 10.845±0.4865) subjects than asymptomatic subjects (6.033±1.3966 and 7.598±1.3921), with a highly significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Strong relationship was found between anomalies binocular single vision symptoms and punctum proximum (PP). The assurance of PP is useful to separate the indicative of symptomatic subjects from the asymptomatic. PP was more in symptomatic groups when compared to asymptomatic groups.
