Screening for Refractive Errors Among Nursing Students Using the WHOeyes Application in Shivamogga City

This study emphasizes the role of regular vision screening among nursing students to detect refractive errors at an early stage, referral at the appropriate time, and increased awareness about ocular health. Incorporation of such screening programs in schools can facilitate a decrease in the load of uncorrected refractive errors and ensure eye health among future healthcare professionals.

Abstract

This study emphasizes the role of regular vision screening among nursing students to detect refractive errors at an early stage, referral at the appropriate time, and increased awareness about ocular health. Incorporation of such screening programs in schools can facilitate a decrease in the load of uncorrected refractive errors and ensure eye health among future healthcare professionals.
