The association between spinal health and visual function in a pediatric population: insights from large-scale health examinations

These findings suggest a potential link between spinal health and visual development. In this cross-sectional sample, poorer stereopsis and more myopic refractive error were associated with modestly higher kyphosis and trunk-rotation angles. These findings provide preliminary evidence for the link between visual function and spinal alignment in school-aged children. Incorporating spinal health assessments into pediatric visual screening programs could facilitate early intervention for both spinal and visual abnormalities, improving overall child health outcomes.
