Introduction: VISION IMPAIRMENT is an important issue in pediatric ophthalmology. Reports indicate a decrease in educational quality in students with impaired vision especially in primary school age. This study evaluates the prevalence of VISION IMPAIRMENT in primary schools of Mashhad in 1383-1384 educational years.Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 2130, 7 to 11 year old students (1047 boys, 1083 girls) were examined. Sample size included 2 primary schools (one from each gender) from one of the 7 educational sections of Mashhad city. 150 cases were chosen from each school bearing equal proportions from all primary levels. Visual acuity was measured using Snellen chart regarding 6 meters distance. Students with visual acuity less than 8/10, which was uncorrectable with glasses, were referred to Mashhad Khatam-Al-Anbiya Hospital.Results: In this study 5.2% of cases had different visual impairment in one or both eyes. More than half (3.1%) were referred to Mashhad Khatam-Al-Anbiya Hospital. Prevalence of amblyopic a in one or both eyes was 0.8% and 3.4% of students had refractive error. STRABISMUS was seen in 0.3% and 0.2% were malingering.Conclusion: This study demonstrates the sufficiency of national program for pre school visual evaluation, especially when compared with similar previous reports.
