Poor stereoacuity among children with poor literacy: prevalence and associated factors.
Population-based studies on abnormal binocular vision and low literacy are rare. The aim is to determine the prevalence of poor stereoacuity among children with low literacy; to identify the characteristics associated with poor stereoacuity among children with low literacy; and to determine the agreement between poor stereoacuity as measured by graded stereocircles with a computerized assessment. ⋯ In this low-literacy sample, one-sixth had low stereoacuity. The associations reported require further investigation.
