Knowledge of disease pattern in children can help design preventive and curative strategies.
To study the pattern of ocular morbidity among the primary school children.
All the children of randomly-selected five government primary schools of Dhulikhel were included in this study. A complete eye examination was done in all children including color vision, loupe examination, refraction and Schiotz tonometry. Funduscopy and automated perimetry were done in selected children.
A total of 466 primary school children were included in the study, of which 466 children 47 (10.08 %) had ocular morbidity. Refractive error was the commonest type of ocular morbidity in 11 (2.36 %). Hypermetropia was the commonest type of refractive error (0.84 %) in contrast to myopia (0.64 %). Conjunctivitis was the second common type of ocular morbidity (1.71 %). Glaucoma suspects accounted for 1.28 %, xexophthalmia 1.07 %, blephatitis 0.85 %, amblyopia 0.43 %, color blindness 0.43 %, conjunctival nevus 0.43 %, glaucoma 0.43 %, and strabismus 0.43 %, while congenital abnormalities were less common.
Refractive error is the commonest form of ocular morbidity in primary school children.
了解儿童疾病模式有助于制定预防和治疗策略。
研究小学生眼部疾病的模式。
本研究纳入了杜利凯尔五所随机选取的政府小学的所有儿童。对所有儿童进行了全面的眼部检查，包括色觉、放大镜检查、验光和眼压测量。对部分儿童进行了眼底镜检查和自动视野检查。
本研究共纳入466名小学生，其中47名（10.08%）患有眼部疾病。屈光不正为最常见的眼部疾病类型，共11例（2.36%）。远视是最常见的屈光不正类型（0.84%），近视则为（0.64%）。结膜炎是第二常见的眼部疾病类型（1.71%）。疑似青光眼占1.28%，干眼症占1.07%，睑缘炎占0.85%，弱视占0.43%，色盲占0.43%，结膜痣占0.43%，青光眼占0.43%，斜视占0.43%，而先天性异常则较少见。
屈光不正是小学生最常见的眼部疾病形式。
