<![CDATA[Refractive errors are one of the leading causes of visual impairment in children. If left uncorrected, these conditions can interfere with learning processes and overall child development. Objective: To determine the prevalence of uncorrected refractive errors among students at SDN 11 Pagi and SDN 17 Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, in 2025. Methods: This study employed a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 700 students who met the inclusion criteria were examined using a Snellen chart and a trial lens set. Results: The study found that 53.7% of students had uncorrected refractive errors. Astigmatism was the most common type, followed by compound myopic astigmatism and myopia. Conclusion: Refractive errors were more prevalent among female students (27.4%) compared to male students (26.3%), with the highest prevalence found in first and sixth-grade students. This study highlights the importance of early detection and routine vision screening among elementary school children to prevent long-term visual impairment.]]>
