Sports Optometry, Sports Neurooptometry, Neuro-ophthalmologyAbstract
Relevance: We propose a survey to assess the visual status of two distinct populations: athletes and non-athletes, focusing on increased outdoor activity.
Purpose: In the field of Optometry, it is common to use questionnaires to assess the visual status of the general population, and our aim is to create a new assessment instrument in this regard.
Methods: In this study, we used an online questionnaire with authorized informed consent consisting of 58 questions, and conducted an analysis with SPSS of all variables obtained from 312 individuals with a mean age of 25.17±13.07 years.
Results: We obtained 11 factors, with the first 7 being analyzed in detail to assess a high number of significant differences regarding 6 variables to understand the impact of indoor and outdoor tasks on athletes and non-athletes.
Conclusions: Physical activity and outdoor activity avoid visual compensation across all age groups, but particularly in children aged 6 to 12 years old.
