Summary: This population-based study investigated the refractive status and prevalence of refractive error in Chinese preschool children aged 1-6 years old. The study found that the prevalence of myopia decreased with age in preschool children younger than 5 years old and then slightly increased at 5-6 years, potentially indicating early signs of myopia in school-age children. The research highlights the need for greater attention to be given to children in this age group.

Summary: This study found that the use of 0.01% atropine eye drops can effectively prevent myopia progression, but it also leads to an increase in axial length and total astigmatism in myopic Chinese children.

Summary: This study found that children with ptosis have a higher risk of astigmatism, myopia, hyperopia, and amblyopia. Children diagnosed with ptosis at an age older than 3 years have a higher risk of myopia than those diagnosed before the age of 3. However, there is no significant difference in the risk of astigmatism, amblyopia, and hyperopia between different age groups.

Summary: The study found that the refractive status of preschool children changes smoothly, suggesting optometry screening starting at the age of 3. For children whose refractive error changes more than -1.00 D per year, a visit to the ophthalmology department is recommended.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of refractive error and associated risk factors in adults in Vientiane Province, Lao People's Democratic Republic. The results showed that myopia was associated with younger age and a higher grade of nuclear cataract, and urban participants had a lower prevalence of myopia compared to rural participants.

Summary: This study evaluated the associations of GJD2 and RASGRF1 gene polymorphisms with refractive errors. The study found that GJD2 rs634990 was significantly associated with the co-occurrence of hyperopia and astigmatism.

Summary: Lower eyelid epiblepharon has a high prevalence in Chinese preschool children, especially in boys and younger children. Children with epiblepharon are at a higher risk of developing astigmatism, myopia, and hyperopia. Increased attention should be given to this eyelid abnormality in the preschool population.

Summary: The study aimed to report the prevalence of refractive error among school students in the east district of Sikkim, India. The findings showed that myopia was the most common error, with a higher prevalence among 14-17-year-old children and slightly higher in females than males, while the highest prevalence of refractive error was found among the most backward classes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of refractive error among school-aged children in Shiraz, Iran. The results showed that astigmatism was the most common refractive error among primary school children, with a relatively high prevalence of myopia, which increased with age.

Summary: This study found that spherical equivalent refractive error (SE) in hyperopic children showed different longitudinal changes depending on different factors, such as the presence of refractive accommodative esotropia (AccET) or amblyopia. SE tended to decrease in children with hyperopia, with a greater decrease in eyes with higher SE or amblyopic eyes. The emmetropization of hyperopia was faster in hyperopic patients without AccET.
