Sight test and glasses could dramatically improve the lives of children with poor vision

A simple sight test and eyeglasses could make a dramatic difference to the lives of more than 150 million people who are suffering from poor vision. Children fail at school, adults are unable to work and families are pushed into poverty as a result of uncorrected visual impairment.

Correction of refractive errors is a simple and cost-effective intervention in eye care,” said Dr Serge Resnikoff, Coordinator of WHO’s Chronic Disease Prevention and Management unit. “Now that we know the extent of the problem of uncorrected refractive errors, especially in low and middle income countries, we must re-double our efforts to ensure that every person who needs help is able to receive it.”

Refractive errors occur when the eye is not able to correctly focus images on the retina. The result is blurred vision, which is sometimes so severe that it creates functional blindness for affected individuals. The three most common refractive errors are:

1. Myopia (nearsightedness) – this is difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly.
2. Hyperopia also known as Hypermetropia (farsightedness) – this is difficulty is seeing close objects clearly.
3. Astigmatism – This is distorted vision resulting from an irregularly curved cornea.
