Brief Summary

The study aim to determine the prevalence of refractive errors in primary school children aged 6-12 in The New Valley , Egypt .

Conditions

Refractive Errors

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• prevalence of refractive error in primary school children

  determine the prevalence of refractive error in primary school children aged 6-12 in New Valley, Egypt .

  baseline

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Degree of Visual aquity improvement of children.

  Baseline

Interventions

cycloplegic refraction DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Cycloplegic autorefraction will be attempted on all children using a table-mounted autorefractor . Cycloplegia will be achieved with three drops of 1% cyclopentolate administered 5 min apart and autorefractive measurements will be performed 30 min after the instillation of the last drop. Auto refraction readings of three consecutive measurements will be obtained and the average will be computed automatically in each eye. Each child will be reexamined until three measurements fell within 0.50 diopters (D) if any two measurements varied by \>0.50D.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 6 Years - 12 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample
