Observational analysis examined ocular biometric measurements across refractive error types, suggesting myopia predominates.
Aim of the study was to study ocular biometric measurements in children with refractive errors in the age group of 6 -18 years. Materials and Methods: consists of study conducted among 63 children (106 eyes) attending out-patient department of ophthalmology of Rajarajeswari medical college Hospital, Bangalore with aim to study ocular biometric measurements in children with refractive errors in the age group of 6 -18 years during April 2023 to September 2024 after the permission of IEC. Each child underwent detailed ocular examination, visual acuity assessment and cycloplegic refraction. Participants were stratified into emmetropia, myopia and hypermetropia groups. Ocular biometrics were assessed using the IOLMaster 700. Conclusion: In our study, myopia is the most common refractive error. In children aged 6 – 18 years, AL and ACD make the greatest contribution to refractive errors. CC and LT are not determining factors of refractive errors.
