Abstract

Refractive errors are present when the optical image does not accurately focus on the retina. Preschool-age myopia is linked to a significant hereditary burden, while in teens, the prevalence of myopic refraction is related to the level of visual stress. The purpose of this article is to compare refractive errors in children of kindergarten age and schoolchildren in Bukhara region, identify their causes, and develop measures to prevent risk factors. Based on this goal, 428 boys and girls of preschool and school age were selected, and the main (visometry, autorefractometry, tonometry, skiascopy) and additional (exobiometry, OCT) examinations were conducted. The results show preschool-age myopia is linked to a significant hereditary burden, while in teens, the prevalence of myopic refraction is related to the level of visual stress.
