Visual Acuity Measures Do Not Reliably Detect Childhood Refractive Error - an Epidemiological Study
PURPOSE To investigate the utility of uncorrected visual acuity measures in screening for refractive error in white school children aged 6-7-years and 12-13-years. METHODS The Northern Ireland Childhood Errors of Refraction (NICER) study used a stratified random cluster design to recruit children from schools in Northern Ireland. Detailed eye examinations included assessment of logMAR visual ...

متن کاملScreening for Significant Refractive Error Using a Combination of Distance Visual Acuity and Near Visual Acuity
PURPOSE To explore the effectiveness of using a series of tests combining near visual acuity (NVA) and distance visual acuity (DVA) for large-scale screenings for significant refractive error (SRE) in primary school children. METHOD Each participant underwent DVA, NVA and cycloplegic autorefraction measurements. SREs, including high myopia, high hyperopia and high astigmatism were analyzed. C...
متن کاملInfluence of uncorrected refractive error and unmet refractive error on visual impairment in a Brazilian population
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization (WHO) definitions of blindness and visual impairment are widely based on best-corrected visual acuity excluding uncorrected refractive errors (URE) as a visual impairment cause. Recently, URE was included as a cause of visual impairment, thus emphasizing the burden of visual impairment due to refractive error (RE) worldwide is substantially higher. The p...
