Objectives: Since 80% of the information we get from the environment comes in through our eyes (Anshel JR, 1999), uncorrected visual problems negatively affect children's educational process and perceptual development. The objectives of this study were: 1st, to document the prevalence of learning related vision problem in primary school children. 2nd, to compare responses of children with those of parents on visual symptoms. Lastly, to determine if there is an association between visual symptoms and academic performance. Methods: We administered visual-symptom quality of life questionnaire developed by Oklahoma College of Optometry in Vision Development to 1031 primary school children and their parent. Visual symptoms responded by children and their parents were compared using Independent Sample t-test and the relation between visual symptoms and academic performance were calculated using Pearson Correlation tests. Results and Conclusions: The number of children who need further professional evaluation, that is visual-symptom scores were ${\geq}20$, reported by children(25%) was greater than that reported by parents(16%). And visual-symptom scores reported by children were significantly higher than those reported by parents in every grade(p<0.01, p<0.001). Visual symptoms reported by both children and parents were found to be inversely correlated to academic performance in every academic area and most of their correlations were statistically significant(p<0.05). Therefore, children with more visual-symptom reported by both group had negative effects on children's academic performance.

목적: 초등학생들의 비사시성 양안시이상과 학업성취도와의 상관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 1,123명의 부모와 학생(8~13세)을 대상으로 COVD-QOL 측정 도구를 사용하여 점수가 20점 이상인 어린이 188명을 선별하였다. 이들 중에서 다시 사시, 약시, 안질환 및 전신질환이 없고 콘택트렌즈를 착용하지 않은 검사기준에 적합한 어린이 123명을 대상으로 양안시기능 검사를 시행하였다. 학업성취도는 2010년 2학기와 2011년 1학기에 시행한 국어, 수학, 사회, 과학, 영어 점수를 사용하였다. 결과: 눈 증상이 있는 초등학생 123명 중 93명에서 비사시성 양안시이상으로 판단되었고, 비사시성 양안시이상 중 조절이상은 과학과 영어, 버전스이상은 국어, 수학, 사회, 과학 그리고 영어에서 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 결론: 조절이상과 버전스이상 모두 학업성취도와 유의한 상관성을 보여 학업성취도를 저하시키는 요인인 것으로 판단되었다.
