Abstract

This research collected the data of students´ vision tests in Zhoushan and other regions in China, made a quantitative analysis of the students´ vision and describes the relationship between vision and seafarers´ Medical Examination System, as well as other safety issues concerned with vision. The statistics showed that there are about 65% students with poor vision in high schools and almost 85% students with poor vision in colleges, which will be a risk to maritime human resources in future. Finally, some comments and recommends are given for improving students´ vision.
