To determine prevalence and associations of visual impairment and frequency of spectacle use among grade 1 and grade 4 students in Beijing.
This school-based, cross-sectional study included 382 grade 1 children (age 6.3 ± 0.5 years) and 299 grade 4 children (age 9.4 ± 0.7 years) who underwent a comprehensive eye examination including visual acuity, noncycloplegic refractometry, and ocular biometry.
Presenting visual acuity (mean 0.04 ± 0.17 logMAR) was associated with younger age (p = 0.002), hyperopic refractive error (p<0.001), and male sex (p = 0.03). Presenting visual impairment (presenting visual acuity ≤20/40 in the better eye) was found in 44 children (prevalence 6.64 ± 1.0% [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.74, 8.54]). Mean best-corrected visual acuity (right eyes -0.02 ± 0.04 logMAR) was associated with more hyperopic refractive error (p = 0.03) and rural region of habitation (p<0.001). The prevalence of best-corrected visual impairment (best-corrected visual acuity ≤20/40 in the better eye) was 2/652 (0.30 ± 0.21% [95% CI 0.00, 0.72]). Undercorrection of refractive error was present in 53 children (7.99 ± 1.05%) and was associated with older age (p = 0.003; B 0.53; OR 1.71 [95% CI 1.20, 2.42]), myopic refractive error (p = 0.001; B -0.72; OR 0.49 [95% CI 0.35, 0.68]), and longer axial length (p = 0.002; B 0.74; OR 2.10 [95% CI 1.32, 3.32]). Spectacle use was reported for 54 children (8.14 ± 1.06%). Mean refractive error of the worse eyes of these children was -2.09 ± 2.88 D (range -7.38 to +7.25 D).
Factors associated with presenting visual impairment were older age, myopic refractive error, and higher maternal education level. Despite a prevalence of myopia of 33% in young schoolchildren in Greater Beijing, prevalence of best-corrected visual impairment (0.30% ± 0.21%), presenting visual impairment (6.64% ± 1.0%), and undercorrection of refractive error (7.99% ± 1.05%) were relatively low.
确定北京一年级和四年级学生视力损害的患病率、相关性以及眼镜佩戴频率。
这项基于学校的横断面研究纳入了382名一年级儿童(年龄6.3±0.5岁)和299名四年级儿童(年龄9.4±0.7岁),他们接受了包括视力、非散瞳验光和眼部生物测量在内的全面眼部检查。
就诊时视力(平均0.04±0.17 logMAR)与年龄较小(p = 0.002)、远视性屈光不正(p<0.001)和男性(p = 0.03)相关。44名儿童存在就诊时视力损害(较好眼就诊时视力≤20/40)(患病率6.64±1.0%[95%置信区间(CI)4.74, 8.54])。平均最佳矫正视力(右眼-0.02±0.04 logMAR)与更多的远视性屈光不正(p = 0.03)和居住在农村地区(p<0.001)相关。最佳矫正视力损害(较好眼最佳矫正视力≤20/40)的患病率为2/652(0.30±0.21%[95%CI 0.00, 0.72])。53名儿童(7.99±1.05%)存在屈光不正矫正不足,且与年龄较大(p = 0.003;B 0.53;OR 1.71[95%CI 1.20, 2.42])、近视性屈光不正(p = 0.001;B -0.72;OR 0.49[95%CI 0.35, 0.68])和眼轴较长(p = 0.002;B 0.74;OR 2.10[95%CI 1.32, 3.32])相关。54名儿童(8.14±1.06%)报告佩戴眼镜。这些儿童较差眼的平均屈光不正为-2.09±2.88 D(范围-7.38至+7.25 D)。
与就诊时视力损害相关的因素包括年龄较大、近视性屈光不正和母亲教育水平较高。尽管大北京地区小学生近视患病率为33%,但最佳矫正视力损害(0.30%±0.21%)、就诊时视力损害(6.64%±1.0%)和屈光不正矫正不足(7.99%±1.05%)的患病率相对较低。
