Visual Function of Moderately Hyperopic 4- and 5-Year-Old Children in the Vision in Preschoolers - Hyperopia in Preschoolers Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare visual performance between emmetropic and uncorrected moderately hyperopic preschool-age children without strabismus or amblyopia.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Methods

setting: Multicenter, institutional. patient or study population: Children aged 4 or 5 years. intervention or observation procedures: Visual functions were classified as normal or reduced for each child based on the 95% confidence interval for emmetropic individuals. Hyperopic (≥3.0 diopters [D] to ≤6.0 D in the most hyperopic meridian; astigmatism ≤1.50 D; anisometropia ≤1.0 D) and emmetropic status were determined by cycloplegic autorefraction.

Main outcome measures

Uncorrected monocular distance and binocular near visual acuity (VA); accommodative response; and near random
