Analysis shows effective detection of vision disorders in children, suggesting enhanced vision surveillance is needed.
Seventeen percent of a school-based sample of South Australian children aged 7-9 years were identified as having vision disorders, such as refractive errors and amblyopia risk factors, effectively detected using a combination of vision measurement and photorefraction. These findings support improved vision surveillance in children in South Australia, which could include an instrument-based vision screening programme with appropriate thresholds.
