Abstract
Aim: the present study was undertaken to observe Ocular biometric parameters of school going children obtained during eye check up in Army schools and Kendriya vidyalaya in Jabalpur cantonement with refractive errors. Materials and Methods: The study recruited 100 Children of the age group of 6–15 years from Army schools and Kendriya vidyalaya in Jabalpur cantonement areas. The study period was from 1st January 2012 to 31st Dec 2014. All children then underwent a detailed ocular examination. The AL, ACD, and LT were measured, whereas VCD was calculated by subtracting the total of ACD and LT from the AL. Standard methods were used to measure the ocular biometrics. Results: Table no 1 presents the refractive errors data of participants (n=100). Low myopia was observed in majority of the participants (45%). High myopia cases were fewer comparatively. Table 2: Ocular biometrics of the participants with different refractive errors (n=100). There was significant difference in the parameters of ocular biometrics in different refractive errors. Conclusion: The study results confirm that imbalance in the ocular biometrics has significant contribution in causing the refractive errors. The study recommends detailed studies in this area for understanding the relationship between ocular biometrics and refractive errors.
