目的：确定大角度内斜视和外斜视是否会影响一个人的就业能力。设计：实验室实验。参与者：79名不知道研究目的的受访者。方法：对两名男性和两名女性的照片进行数字修改，以生成同一人在正交各向异性、内斜视和外斜视状态下的照片。然后，这些照片被随机贴到同样合格的工作简历上。79名受访者在不知道研究目的的情况下，被要求(1)根据选定的工作资格变量对每个申请者进行评级，(2)按照招聘偏好的顺序对申请者进行排名。主要观察指标：个人申请者评级和招聘偏好得分。结果：眼线正常的女性比斜视女性的离职偏好得分更高(P=0.007)。男性斜视者与非斜视者之间的招聘偏好得分差异无统计学意义(P=0.47)。结论：大角度水平斜视对女性申请者在职业上具有显著意义，降低了女性申请者的就业能力。斜视的存在似乎并没有影响男性申请者的招聘决定。(C)2000年由美国眼科学会授予。
Objective: To determine if large angle esotropia and exotropia could impact a person's ability to obtain employment.Design: Laboratory experiment.Participants: Seventy-nine respondents unaware of the purpose of the study.Methods: Photographs of two men and two women were digitally altered to create photographs of the same individual in an orthotropic, esotropic, and exotropic state. The photographs were then randomly affixed to similarly qualified job resumes. The 79 study respondents, unaware of the purpose of the study, were asked to (1) rate each individual applicant on selected job qualification variables, and (2) rank the applicants against each other in order of hiring preference.Main Outcome Measures: Individual applicant rating and hiring preference scores.Results: Women with normal ocular alignment received greater hiving preference scores than did strabismic women (P = 0.007). No difference in hiring preference scores was noted between strabismic and non-strabismic male applicants (P = 0.47).Conclusions: Large angle horizontal strabismus appeared to be vocationally significant for female applicants, reducing a strabismic female applicant's ability to obtain employment. The presence of strabismus did not appear to influence hiring decisions of male applicants. (C) 2000 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
