Global cost of correcting vision impairment from uncorrected refractive error.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the global cost of establishing and operating the educational and refractive care facilities required to provide care to all individuals who currently have vision impairment resulting from uncorrected refractive error (URE). METHODS The global cost of correcting URE was estimated using data on the population, the prevalence of URE and the number of existing refractive ca...

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...
متن کاملAssociation of refractive error with vision-related quality of life in junior high school students
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between refractive error and vision-related quality of life in 16-year-old students in Taiwan. METHODS A cross-sectional study was designed for 16-year junior-high-school students in Taiwan. Myopia was defined as a spherical refractive error (SRE) < -0.50 D, hyperopia as SRE > +1.0 D, and emmetropia as SRE -0.5-+1.0 D in the better eye. Vision-r...
