Background: Prevalence of myopia is increasing globally, hence it poses a significant public health risk due to the association of high myopia with debilitating eye disorders.Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of myopia in school children.Setting: The study was conducted in primary and secondary schools in Garki district, Abuja, Nigeria.Methods: A cross-sectional, multistage, random sampling involving 1028 school children (aged 5–14 years), comprising 484 boys (47.1%) and 544 girls (52.9%), was conducted. Examination performed included visual acuities, pen torch and ophthalmoscopy examination of the anterior and posterior segments, retinoscopy under cycloplegia and subjective refraction.Results: The prevalence of myopia (−0.50 dioptre [D] or more) in this study was 3.5%. Approximately 3.4% of the children had mild myopia (−0.50 to −3.00 D), 0.1% had moderate myopia (−3.25 D to −6.00 D) and none had high myopia. Myopia ranged from −0.50 D to −4.25 D. The mean spherical equivalent for myopia (right eye) was −1.11 D. The prevalence of hyperopia, astigmatism and amblyopia was 5.8%, 1.9% and 0.7%, respectively. Overall, the prevalence of refractive error was 11.2%.Conclusion: The prevalence of myopia is relatively low in a sample of school children in Garki district of Abuja, Nigeria. However, the majority of myopic children in this study without spectacles (88.9%) are a cause for concern, which could reflect the low usage of refractive error services among school children in the district.

Background: Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is one of the leading causes of evaporative dry eye disease and one of the most common ophthalmic conditions found in clinical practice. Meibomian gland dysfunction tends to be overlooked because its signs and symptoms do not cause blindness. Meibomian gland dysfunction is characterised by the obstruction of the meibomian gland terminal ducts resulting in tear film instability.Aim: The purpose of this article was to provide an update on MGD’s diagnosis and treatment.Method: A literature review was conducted using search engines such as Google Scholar, Medline and ScienceDirect databases. Keywords such as MGD diagnosis and management and treatment of MGD were used to search the databases.Results: A total of 44 relevant papers were reviewed. These papers were then curated to include only those concerning diagnosis of meibomian gland dysfunction, treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction and management options of meibomian gland dysfunction. The references of individual papers from the curated results were checked to yield a further 13 papers.Conclusion: Meibomian gland dysfunction is not a single entity but is multifactorial in origin; however, our understanding of the condition is evolving rapidly because of newer imaging technology. There is no gold standard treatment option for MGD, but many options are available that include medications and other procedures.

Background: Antireflection coatings (ARCs) applied to ophthalmic plastic lenses must have a good quality base hard coat for the ARC to adhere to. The hard coating must be durable so as not to crack, craze or peel under different atmospheric conditions. The purpose of ARC is also to increase the transmission of light through the lenses and eliminate reflections.Aim: The aim of this research was to compare the quality of eight different pre-coated ARC stock lenses in terms of light transmission and durability.Setting: The measurements were taken in the physics laboratory at the University of Johannesburg.Methods: Eight different stock ARC lenses were obtained from different lens suppliers. The performances were assessed by measuring the light transmission through each lens, exposure to chemicals such as salt–water solution and adhesion and abrasion tests to assess the quality of the coatings.Results: The performance and quality of the different lenses differed slightly in terms of hardness, durability and quality. The lenses also differed slightly in average transmission percentage. The difference between the control lens and the highest average percentage transmission was 4.8%, and the lowest average transmission was 2.2%. The lens that performed the best overall was Crizal Forte and the worst was Precision.Conclusion: Not all lenses have the same quality of ARC applied and durable qualities. Quality control should be carried out regularly in batches so as to maintain high standards set out by the different suppliers.

Background: Vision screening is an important component of any child eye health system. Availability of standardised and broad screening guidelines is important to its success because it will allow for uniform and full utilisation of services through the system.Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the coverage, components, and referral criteria of the paediatric vision screening services in Abia State, Nigeria, towards the development of a uniform vision screening guideline.Methods: Eighty-three registered optometrists practising in Abia State for at least one year prior to the commencement of the study were invited to participate. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed directly or via email to the optometrists. The questionnaire covered areas such as the participation of optometrists in paediatric vision screening, coverage of the screening programmes, screening tools and referral criteria.Results: A response rate of 77.1% (64 participants) was recorded for the survey. Twenty-eight (43.8%) respondents offered more than one paediatric vision screening outside their practice in the last year before the survey. Among those respondents, 20 were from the private sector and 20 were based in urban cities. Only 10 respondents undertook more than four paediatric screening services within this period. Visual acuity measurement and ocular health assessment were the main components of the screening batteries of optometrists. While a child with any disease abnormality was referred for evaluation, the referral criteria for a full examination were inconsistent.Conclusion: The existing paediatric screening programmes in Abia State are inadequate. Of the few conditions that are screened for, varied referral criteria for further examination are applied. It therefore appears that the current screening programmes are not meeting the visual needs of the paediatric population and suggests the need for a new strategy to improve vision screening provisions to children in Abia State.

Background: Cataract is the leading cause of blindness. Various national programmes have been undertaken to reduce its prevalence. Several barriers in the rural community and individuals exist which decreases the uptake of cataract surgery. Knowledge of factors would help in improving surgical uptake in rural patients and a decrease in blindness rate.Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the factors preventing cataract surgery acceptance in rural patients.Setting: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2019 to December 2019 in eye screening camps in rural areas of south Karnataka, India.Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted between June 2019 and December 2019. A total of 4114 patients were screened at camps, out of which 500 patients above the age of 50 years, diagnosed with cataracts but had refused cataract surgery earlier, were included. Data were collected on demography, visual acuity, cataract or lens status, source of information on cataract surgery in camps, reasons for refusal of cataract surgery previously. Barriers to cataract surgery uptake (CSU) were classified as attitudinal, social, economical and psychological factors and reasons for uptake of cataract surgery in the current visit were recorded in the form of a questionnaire and analysed.Results: The mean age of the participants was 65.8 years. The male to female ratio was 1.1:1. The prevalence of cataract blindness in our study population was 11.5%, which was significant (p = 0.000). Announcements and pamphlets were the most common source of information on cataract surgery in camps. Significant barriers to CSU were attitudinal factors, mainly the ability to manage daily work (66.4%) with cataract; one eye had an adequate vision (57.4%). The next common barrier was an economic factor as they waited for a camp to avail themselves of free service (61.5%). The least common barriers were female gender (13.2%), fear related to surgery (11.8%), old age (9.6%), God’s will/fate (6.2%), lack of transport (5.4%). The critical factors in CSU in the camps were a provision of free surgery, accessible transport, the camp being conducted closer to their home and motivation by the health workers.Conclusion: Although economic barriers were efficiently taken care of by the government through national programmes, attitudinal barriers seem to be the most important barriers to achieve the goal of reducing blindness because of cataract in rural population.

Background: Keratoconus (KC) is a non-inflammatory, self-limiting corneal ectasia that causes reduced visual acuity and if left undiagnosed and/or untreated may lead to visual impairment. Optometrists remain the first point of contact for affected patients, making appropriate timeous care essential.Aim: To investigate keratoconus management in the public sector in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.Setting: Public sector eye care facilities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.Methods: In a quantitative, cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was distributed to optometrists employed by the Department of Health in KwaZulu-Natal (DoH-KZN). Data on practitioner demographic profile and clinical competence, facility attendance statistics, resources available and KC clinical protocols were collected.Results: The response rate was 36 (71%). The optometrists’ mean age was 30.19 ± 4.53 years, and 80% of them had work experience of less than 10 years. The majority of the health facilities (63.9%) reported a monthly attendance of 51–300 patients, and, of these, 72% of the respondents reported seeing only between 1 and 10 keratoconic patients. A lack of equipment and/or fitting of contact lenses being disallowed by the DoH-KZN were cited by the majority (61%) as the reason for routinely referring KC patients to optometrists in private practice.Conclusion: This study highlights a deficiency in the minimum standard of optometric care for KC in the public sector in KZN, primarily because of a lack of equipment and resources. It is recommended that the management of KC at all levels of the public health system be reviewed to improve the quality of service for keratoconic patients.
