The purpose of this study was to examine whether close-up work was related to myopia in Singapore kindergarten children.
One hundred twenty-eight children, ages 3 to 7 years, from a kindergarten in Singapore were examined by cycloplegic autorefraction. The parents also completed a questionnaire on the different types of close-up work activities each child was engaged in, socioeconomic status, and parental history of myopia.
Myopic children spent 3.0 hours per day (median) on close-up work activity, while nonmyopic children spent 2.0 hours per day (median) on close-up work activity. The prevalence of myopia in the sample was 8.6%.
Close-up work activity was not related to myopia in pre-school children.
本研究旨在探讨在新加坡幼儿园儿童中,近距离工作是否与近视有关。
对来自新加坡一所幼儿园的128名3至7岁儿童进行了睫状肌麻痹验光。家长们还填写了一份问卷,内容涉及每个孩子所从事的不同类型的近距离工作活动、社会经济地位以及父母的近视病史。
近视儿童每天花在近距离工作活动上的时间为3.0小时(中位数),而非近视儿童每天花在近距离工作活动上的时间为2.0小时(中位数)。样本中近视的患病率为8.6%。
在学龄前儿童中,近距离工作活动与近视无关。
