March 12, 2024 updated by: Mohamed Farag Khalil Ibrahiem, Minia University

Errors of Refraction: Prevalence and Compliance of Wearing Correction Among Primary School Children

This study will include primary school children to evalute their refraction and follow those who will wear glasses to detect their compliance.

Visual acuity will be measured using autorefractometer after cycloplegic eye drops 3 times and glasses will be prescribed for those who are needed. Follow up of the students to detect their compliance of wearing correction.
