Abstract
One of the most vital Organs is the eye. According to the findings, visual pathways account for 80% of the information or equivalent we obtain coming from the outside.

Method: The study was conducted in selected school of Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. The sample consisted of 80 school going students. Data was collected using purposive Sampling technique. Pre-test was given using structured Knowledge Questionnaire and Assess visual acuity status with Snellen chart. Result: Reveals the comparison of overall pre test and post test Mean Knowledge on regarding healthy life style practice to maintain normal vision among students.
