Abstract
AbstractOphthalmic school examination serves not only in early detection and treatment of ocular diseases, but also in protecting the visual health school children need for study. The most important problem in this regard is considered to be the management of refractive error.Although in the past the most common refractive error in school children was myopia, recent investigations have revealed that hyperopia, hyperopic astigmatism and mixed astigmatism are more frequent; moreover, these conditions are more obstructive than is myopia. Urgently needed in school health service therefore is the development of a counterplan to clarify the actual extent of refractive error in children and perform the proper management thereof.For this purpose we have developed a system of mass screening to evaluate refractive error. The system comprises an autorefractometer and a small computer for data analysis. This is recommended for further ophthalmic school mass screening in view of its high efficiency and capacity for statistical analysis.
