AIM
The study aimed to determine the epidemiology and evaluate the trends in the uptake of refractive error services in Harare.
METHODS
A clinic-based retrospective study at the Greenwood Park Eye Centre and its three subsidiaries was conducted from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020.
RESULTS
12,216 patients' records were retrieved, out of which 1074 (8.79%) had refractive error cases. The prevalence of visual impairment at presentation was 5.80% [95% CI: 5.39 - 6.23]. Among those with refractive error, the sample prevalence of visual impairment before correction was 41.30% [CI: 38.3 - 44.3, 95%], and 2.20% [95% CI: 1.4 - 3.3] after correction. There was inconsistency in the percentage utilization of refractive error services, with the highest being 42.60% in 2015. Refractive error types were related to age, employment position, and type of visual impairment prior to refractive error treatment.
CONCLUSION
There was a low percentage of refractive error services uptake in urban Zimbabwe.
目的
本研究旨在确定哈拉雷的屈光不正服务利用情况的流行病学，并评估其趋势。
方法
这是一项在 2015 年 1 月 1 日至 2020 年 12 月 31 日期间，在格林伍德公园眼科中心及其三个分支机构进行的基于诊所的回顾性研究。
结果
共检索到 12216 名患者的记录，其中 1074 名（8.79%）有屈光不正病例。就诊时视力损害的患病率为 5.80%[95%CI:5.39-6.23]。在屈光不正患者中，未经矫正的视力损害样本患病率为 41.30%[CI:38.3-44.3，95%]，矫正后为 2.20%[95%CI:1.4-3.3]。屈光不正服务的利用率百分比不一致，2015 年最高为 42.60%。屈光不正类型与年龄、就业岗位以及屈光不正治疗前的视力损害类型有关。
结论
津巴布韦城市的屈光不正服务利用率较低。
