Aims: To characterize ophthalmological findings in a sample of Swedish children aged 4–15 years. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional comprehensive ophthalmological investigation was performed on a sample of 143 children (67 girls, 76 boys) aged 4–15 years. Results: Visual acuity (VA) in the better eye ≥1.0 (≤0.0 logMAR) was found in 79% of subjects. None of the children had VA in the better eye 0.3 logMAR). Amblyopia was found in 0.7% of subjects. A total of 68% of the children had no refractive errors. Hyperopia (≥2.0 dioptres [D] in spherical equivalent [SE]) was found in 9% and myopia (≥0.5 D SE) in 6% of children. Astigmatism (≥0.75 D) was recorded in 22% and anisometropia (≥1.0 D SE) in 3%. A total of 8% were optically corrected. Strabismus was recorded in 3.5%. Signs of visuoperceptual problems were reported in 3% of the children. Conclusion: This sample of Swedish children may serve as a comparison group regarding ophthalmological findings in children aged 4–15 years. |
