·AIM:To find out the astigmatic distribution of Uighur children between the age of 6 and 13,and to observe the relationship between astigmatism and deviation food habit at the same time.·METHODS:The distribution rules of the main types of astigmatism and the distribution rules of deviation food habit on the astigmatism of the 262 children 485 eyes aged 6 to 13 were investigated.·RESULTS:The astigmatism degrees were in low grade of both myopic and hypermetropic astigmatism,the myopic astigmatism accounted for 64.9% of total astigmatic eyes,hypermetropic astigmatism accounted for 35.1% of total astigmatic eyes.In the myopic astigmatism,there were 71.4% children didn’t like meat,and 48.2% children didn’t like vegetable;and in the hypermetropic astigmatism,there were 40.6% children didn’t like meat,and 68.8% children didn’t like vegetable.·CONCLUSION:There are more myopic astigmatism than hypermetropic astigmatism,and low grade than middle or high grade astigmatism,in school age children.Most of the children with myopic astigmatism don’t like meat,and hypermetropic astigmatism ones don’t like vegetable.To prevent myopic astigmatism,the children have to learn a good eating habit to balance diet.Children must be treated for apositia syndrome early if founded.·
