Abstract

Objectives: The study deals with the identifying correlations between visual acuity and Class I vs Class II skeletal pattern. Methods: A total of seventy subjects were enrolled in the study with age ranging from 11-29 years. Using ANB angle, they were equally divided in two groups (Class I, Class II). Visual acuity of each subject were measured and correlated with each group. Descriptive statistics was compiled and comparison between the groups was made using t-test and Mann-Whitney U test followed by Pearson’s correlation. Level of statistical significance was set at p≤0.05. Findings: The mean age difference between Class I and Class II samples was -0.74 and not statistically significant, indicating that the samples for both categories were of comparable ages. On comparison of visual acuity of right eye, there were 22.7% subjects with myopia in Class I compared to 77.3% in Class II, and this difference in proportion was statistically significant (ES=0.429). In left eye, 25.0% of Class I subjects had myopia, whereas 75.0 % in Class II, and this difference in proportion was also statistically significant (ES=0.328). Positive Pearson’s correlation was found between ANB and Visual acuity of right eye (r=0.165). Novelty: This study concludes that Class II skeletal pattern subjects have more tendency to develop myopia. Further research involving other eye parameters are required to understand the cause-effect relationship.
