Abstract

This study aims to determine the prevalence of refractive errors in children with Down Syndrome in eye examination activities carried out during Down Syndrome Awareness Month 2023 by the East Java Association of Parents of Children with Down Syndrome (PIK POTADS). A total of 30 children with Down Syndrome underwent eye examinations, and the results showed that 18 children (72%) had myopia, 7 children (28%) had astigmatism, and 5 children were indicated to require further referral to a pediatric ophthalmologist. These results indicate that children with Down Syndrome have a high risk of experiencing refractive errors, so regular eye examinations and medical follow-up are needed.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the prevalence of refractive errors in elementary school (SD) and junior high school (SMP) children in Batu City, Malang. A total of 659 children were registered as participants in this screening, with 495 children being successfully examined. From the results of the examination, it was found that 17 children (3.4%) had plano vision or no refractive errors, while 366 children (73.93%) had myopia, 111 children (22.42%) suffered from astigmatism, and 1 child (0 .2%) were identified as having hypermetropia. These findings show the high prevalence of refractive errors, especially myopia, among school children in Batu City. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that routine eye examinations be carried out in schools to prevent the negative impact of refractive errors on children's learning achievement and quality of life.
