Determination of Refractive Error in Schoolchildren

Abstract

Studies have also concluded that about 80% of cases of blindness can be prevented by identifying the underlying cause. Additional studies have concluded that CB is a significant international issue. The studies also concluded that 30% of Indians E-VL before the age of 20. As a result, they concluded that early OM assessment in YC is essential. In light of this, we set out to assess RE usage among SC in our study. In our study, we found a statistically significant connection between urban population and screen exposure time (>2.5 hours per day), likely due to the easy availability of computers, laptops, mobile phones, and video games. (P value: 0.0126). Our study found a statistically significant link between 8th–10th graders and screen exposure time (>2.5 hours per day), likely due to higher computer, laptop, mobile phone, and video game use. (p-value <0.0001). In our study, we found that 53.8% were spending more than 30 minutes per day reading, while 46.2% were spending less than 30 minutes per day.Hence, it is imperative to promptly address the issue of VI caused by RE. Early-age screening, then appropriate recognition and management strategies, can help with this.
