dc.description.abstract | Albinism is a huge challenge both socially and educationally in Tanzania and many other countries. Pupils with albinism are normally encouraged to read with a fixed gaze due to their nystagmus, and there are doubts about whether refraction improves their reading.
The aim is to get more knowledge about their functional vision as a fundament for educating pupils with albinism.
The article presents a case study with three pupils from a primary school in Tanzania who went through a functional assessment of vision using standardized methods and a new eye-tracker software measuring smooth pursuits.
The assessment reveals large individual differences not only in visual acuity but also in ocular motor functions.
There is a need for better understanding of the vision challenges these pupils face so that professionals can develop more suitable methods in school for securing their education. | en_US |
