Summary: The investigation presents refraction and emmetropization
data onfive-year-old children from different regions and
environments:Central Zagreb and the rural area of Čazma. Three groups
ofsubjects: 106 five-year-old children from Zagreb, born in 1967,56
children of the same age from Zagreb born in 1987, compared to84 children
of the same age from the rural Čazma area. While themedium value of
dioptres in the two Zagreb groups (born in 1967and 1987) was +1.54 Dsph and
+1.44 Dsph respectively, in theČazma group the medium value obtained of
+0.89 Dsph wasstatistically significant at the 0.05 level. The Čazma group
withthe medium value of +0.89 Dsph was further divided into two
partsaccording to the provenance of the children's parents. It hasbeen
found that the dioptres of the children whose parentsoriginate from the
Čazma have the medium value of +0.97 Dsph andthe children of the recent
settlers in the area +0.61 Dsph, thedifference between the two, being
statistically significant( X2=9.13, df 2, P<0.05 ).

Summary: Groups of children between the ages of 6 and 30 months
(143), allof them born in 1986 and 1987 in Čazma, underwent a
refractiveerror test. Their medium value of dioptres was established,
theemmetropization of the eye, anisometropia and its influence onamblyopia
were observed, and this was followed by anothercheck-up at the age of 5.
The medium value of the dioptres was as follows:
- children between the ages of 6 and 12 months: + 1.98 Dsph
- children between the ages of 13 and 18 months: + 1.50 Dsph
- children between the ages of 19 and 24 months: + 1.29 Dsph
- children between the ages of 25 and 30 months: + 1.09 Dsph
Anisometropia with amblyopia was found in 6 infants with a rangeof +1.00 to
+4.00 dioptres.
When the second check-up was carried out at the age of 5, two ofthe infants
had perfect vision. The others (4) did not turn upfor the second check-up.

Summary: The paper gives survey of research on visual development
afterbirth and visual impairment, and account of the situation withvisual
impairment in some countries and set out the requiredknowledge and know-how
for the direction of visual impairment.
As an example of the visual impairment detection the paperdemonstrates the
analysis of the visual situation in two definedgroups of children, namely
of 58 children aged 1 year from Čazma(a rural area) and a group of 22
children aged 2 years fromkindergarten in Zagreb (urban area). The analysis
was carried outaccording to suggested methods including the examination of
theanterior segment of the eyeball, eye acuity, the cover test,
thetorchlight test on cornea, the examination of the musclemotility, and
eye refraction test. The results have shown that inthe one-year-old group
80% of the children are hypermetropic(median +1.16 Dsph) poorer eye acuity
has been 3.45% of the eyes,the cover test and torchlight test have been
positive in 1.73% ofthe eyes. In the two year old group 77% of the children
werehypermetropic (median +1.10 Dsph), poorer eye acuity has beenfound in
9.09% . The emmetropisation of the eye has been followedand the fall of the
dioptres of 0.06 Dsph in one year has beenregistered.
