Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of myopia on visual motor integration (VMI) in schoolchildren aged from 6 to 10 years old. Ninety seven myopic physically healthy schoolchildren of both sexes participated in this study. Their ages ranged from 6 to 10 years. They were classified into two age specific groups with 44 children in age group under 8 years and 53 children in age group above 8 years. Degree of myopia was measured by optometrist via Auto-refractive device. Assessment of VMI was performed by the researcher via using Bruininks-Oseretsky test of motor proficiency. Results revealed that there was a positive correlation between degree of myopia and VMI for both right and left eyes during wearing glasses as well as without glasses. Results revealed that significant differences between the two age groups regarding VMI during wearing glasses as well as without wearing glasses. It was concluded that myopia has a negative effect on VMI in schoolchildren aged from 6 to 10 years
