Abstract :
BACKGROUND– Mostly, ocular morbidity originates in childhood and if undetected may result in severe ocular disabilities, in addition to affecting development, educational performance, and learning abilities1. School children are affected by various eye disorders like refractive errors, squint (strabismus), Vitamin A deficiency and eye infections. Uncorrected refractive errors form the primary cause for visual impairment and blindness in India. This warrants early detection and treatment of these problems to prevent future blindness2. METHODOLOGY– A cross sectional study was village Medta (Rural area) of Udaipur district. All the children of 6–15 years age in the school present at the time of survey. RESULTS– Among total students 19.17% (115/600) students were having refractive error. 15.67% of total students students were having Myopia (94/600) and 3.16% had both (myopia and hypermetropia), as refractive error while only 0.33% students had Hypermetropia. Ocular morbidity in their respective BMI groups, it was highest 32.9% ( 78/237) in Underweight BMI group CONCLUSION– The findings from Medta village, Udaipur, Rajasthan, suggested that a range of different eye morbidities affect a large number of students and highlight the need to proper implementation of appropriate eye care health programs.
