Abstract
Interpupillary distance (IPD) is the measurement of distance between the centers of the pupils of the two eyes measured in millimetres. It’s an important factor in all aspects of our binocular vision. Measurement of interpupillary distance is used to properly align the center of spectacle lenses with the center of our eyes. The purpose of this research was to find differences in distance interpupillary distance (IPD) based on age group and Malaysian races within Seksyen 13, Shah Alam. A cross- sectional study was done on 60 subjects. A two-way ANOVA analysis of variance was conducted to find the differences in distance interpupillary distance (IPD) based on age group of different Malaysian races within Seksyen 13, Shah Alam. The results for the two- way ANOVA showed no significant main effect with age, p> 0.005 ( 0.568) and a significant main effect for different Malaysian race with p<0.05 (0.016). The descriptive statistics shows that the mean score for Indian race (M= 61.714, SD= 1.6091), Malay race (M= 61.143, SD= 1.2956) and Chinese race was (M= 60.429, SD= 1.2378). While, the results showed no significant interaction between age and race, p>0.05 (0.322), indicating that no differences between the interpupillary distance value based on age group of different Malaysian races. In conclusion, study had shown a no significantly differences in IPD based on both the age group and Malaysian races but showed statistically significant difference of IPD based on Malaysian races.
