Why depending on the tickness of the tissue The inability to perceive visual stimuli,
vision loss can be sudden or gradual and temporary or permanent. The deficit can range from a slight
impairment of vision to total blindness. It can result from an ocular, neurologic, or systemic disorder or
from trauma or the use of certain drugs. The ultimate visual outcome may depend on early, accurate
diagnosis and treatment.? Astigmatism is a visual disorder where the eye cannot properly focus due to
misshapen cornea or lens. Unlike myopia (near-sightedness) and hyperopia (far-sightedness), which
are both poorly focused in one particular direction, the visual disorder is more complex in astigmatism,
with more complex variations. Although astigmatism is not the same as myopia or hyperopia, it often

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methods utilized by the researchers in completing the
study.
Research Design
The study is a descriptive- correlational type of research which describes data and characteristics about the
population or phenomena in study. It is used to obtain information concerning the current status of the phenomena to
describe ‘what exists’ with respect to variables or conditions in a situation. It answers the questions who, what, where,
when, and how. The research methodologies and procedures such as observations, surveys, self- reports, and tests are
involved in this study. Hence, the study attempts to assess the self- concept of adolescents with cleft lip from selected
barangays within Lipa City and its correlation with the life satisfaction of the individuals involved.
The responses of the primary respondents to the Pasao Self-Concept Rating Scale and the Diener’s
Satisfaction with Life Scale serve as the main sources of primary data utilized in the study.
Secondary Source
Books, journals, magazines, previous studies related to the variables involved in the study served as the
Sampling Design
Purposive sampling was utilized in the study since cleft palate itself is rare and adolescents with the said
condition may be difficult to locate and recruit for a study. This sampling technique targets a particular group of people
The primary respondents are 31 adolescents aged 12- 21, with treated cleft palate. The particular types of cleft
palate of the respondents vary from isolated cleft palate to cleft lip with cleft palate. Hence, the said respondents are
residents of 17 barangays in Lipa City who have intact families and are studying. Residents of the town accessible to the
researchers were primarily considered for the convenience in data gathering. The study focused on adolescents primarily
The study was conducted at 17 barangays of Lipa City, a first class city in the province of Batangas, Philippines.
Situated 78 kilometers south of Manila, the city is bounded by the town of Santo Tomas in the northeast, San Pablo of
Laguna and San Antonio of Quezon in the east, the municipalities of Padre Garcia and Rosario in the southeast, the
municipalities of Ibaan and San Jose in the southwest, the municipalities of Cuenca and Mataas na Kahoy and Taal Lake
in the southwest and the municipalities of Balete and Malvar in the northwest. The city is a major recreational, religious,
commercial, industrial and educational center in Central Batangas province. The 31 respondents include: two residents of
Poblacion Brgy. 4; five from Sabang; one from San Jose; four from Antipolo del Sur; one from Sto. Toribio; two from
Antipolo Del Norte; three from Inosluban; one from Poblacion Brgy. 10; one from Bolbok; one from Tambo; three from
Kayumanggi; two from San Celestino; one from Sto. Nino; one from Bagong Pook; one from Tangway; one from
Poblacion Brgy. 7; and one from Mataas na Lupa. Out of the 73 barangays of Lipa City, the said 17 barangays were
Among the 31 respondents, the majority come from Brgy. Sabang or roughly 16.2% of the population. Those
coming from Antipolo del Sur follow next at 12.9%. Respondents from Brgy. Inosluban and Brgy. Tambo tie up, each
taking 9.7% of the total respondents. Respondents from Poblacion Brgy. 4, Antipolo del Norte, and San Celestino come
next at 6.5% each. Lastly, respondents from Brgy. San Jose, Brgy. Sto. Toribio, Poblacion Brgy. 10, Brgy. Bolbok, Brgy.
