Refractive errors, amblyopia risk factors and vision screening in children aged 7–10 years in Aotearoa New Zealand
Astigmatism is the most frequent refractive error among children aged 7-10 years living in Aotearoa New Zealand. Distance visual acuity screening alone is ineffective in detecting refractive error in children in Aotearoa New Zealand. Further research investigating refractive errors across the paediatric population in Aotearoa New Zealand is required to determine the optimal timing and appropriate protocols for school-aged vision screening.
