| Popis: | Purpose: To assess, among children with low literacy and poor stereoacuity, the efficacy of two intervention programs on child vision and education compared to a control program. Methods: Eighty-eight children aged 8 to 13 years who had reading problems, and demonstrated poor stereoacuity as measured by the Titmus stereocircle test (> 100 seconds arc) or computerized assessment were randomized to one of two intervention programs: Lawson vision or Phono-Graphix, or a control group: Parental Literacy Support. Vision (Lang test, visual acuity, convergence insufficiency symptom survey) and education assessments (Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests–Revised) were conducted at baseline, intervention end (10 weeks), and 36 weeks. Analysis used intention to treat multi-level models. Results: Compared to the parental literacy support group, convergence insufficiency symptoms were reduced 36 weeks post-randomization amongst those receiving the Lawson orthoptic intervention (mean difference −5.55; 95% confidence interval ... |
