Abstract
This study is an evaluation of the refractive errors, eye coordination problems, and eye pathology of the students at the California School for the Deaf, Berkeley. Vision screening by the modified clinical technique (MCT) was provided by students at the University of California School of Optometry, Berkeley. The deaf had more vision defects than hearing students, especially in the category of refractive error. Because the deaf depend on their vision to a greater extent than the hearing, there is a continuing need for a comprehensive vision health care program for deaf students.Keywords
