Influence 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...
متن کاملInvestigation of visual acuity and residual refractive error after cataract surgery in patients with senile cataract by phacoemulsification
Background and Aim: Vision improvement and reduction of refractive errors are considered as important goals of cataract surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate residual refractive errors after cataract surgery in the patients with senile cataract in Shahid Rahimi Hospital in Khorramabad City between 2017 and 2018. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 178 patients...

purpose : to determine the association between astigmatism and spherical refractive error in a clinical population methods : in this cross-sectional study, 2,000 patients who presented to our optometry clinic were enrolled. all were tested for objective refraction with a nidek ar-310a auto refractometer, and non-cycloplegic refraction. for those under 15 years of age, cycloplegic refraction was...
متن کاملRefractive error in children in a rural population in India.
PURPOSE To assess the prevalence of refractive error and related visual impairment in school-aged children in the rural population of the Mahabubnagar district in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. METHODS Random selection of village-based clusters was used to identify a sample of children 7 to 15 years of age. From April 2000 through February 2001, children in the 25 selected clust...
متن کاملCase finding for refractive errors: assessment of refractive error and visual impairment in children.
The World Health Organization informal planning meeting, in July 2000, clearly indicated that detailed comparisons of refractive error prevalence across study reports are generally not possible because of different measurement methods and definitions. Further, because most studies are carried out using samples of unknown representativeness, interpretation of the findings in a population-based c...
