| Summary: |
Purpose: To
determine the prevalence of astigmatism among students
ranging from 6 to 18 years of age.
Material and methods: 5023 students from
elementary schools, junior high schools and high schools,
aged 6-18 years were examined. Measurements of visual
acuity as well as retinoscopy after cycloplegia have
been carried out. The data was analyzed using chi-square
test, and the coefficients of rang Spearman's
correlation were calculated.
Results: It was found that 4% of the students,
aged from 6 to 18 suffers from astigmatism. No influence
of the students' age on the prevalence of astigmatism
was observed. It was found that astigmatism occurs more
frequently among boys rather than girls. |
