Uncorrected refractive errors, visual impairment and need for spectacles among children and adolescents in eastern, China
Although the prevalence of VI among children and adolescents in eastern China was low, the prevalence of URE and the need for spectacles were high. Myopia was the most important risk factor for URE, VI, and need for spectacles, and the impact of anisometropia on URE, VI, and need for spectacles cannot be ignored. Further research on adjusting intervention strategies is needed to eliminate preventable visual impairments.
