Objective. To investigate refractive development and prevalence of myopia in children aged 3-6 years in Hebei Province, China, and to explore the developmental law of refraction, so as to clinically guide the prediction and intervention of myopia. Methods. In May 2019, a total of 6120 people were inspected in 68 kindergartens in 11 cities in Hebei Province. Child refractive refraction was checked under noncycloplegia using a handheld binocular vision screener (SW-800, SUOER, Tianjin, China). Axial length (AL) and corneal radius of curvature (CR) were measured using an ocular biometry (IOLMaster 500, Carl Zeiss, Germany). Myopia was defined as spherical equivalent SE ≤ − 0.75   D . Results. A total of 5506 children aged 3-6 years met the criteria and were included in the statistical analysis. The prevalence of myopia was 3.49% (1.93% at age 3, 2.90% at age 4, 3.78% at age 5, and 3.88% at age 6). Overall, the mean SE was + 0.67 ± 1.05   D ( + 0.81 ± 1.00   D at age 3, + 0.79 ± 1.05   D at age 4, + 0.67 ± 1.08   D at age 5, and + 0.13 ± 1.01   D at age 6); the mean CR was 7.76 ± 0.26   mm ( 7.78 ± 0.26   mm at age3, 7.75 ± 0.25   mm at age 4, 7.77 ± 0.26   mm at age 5, and 7.76 ± 0.25   mm at age 6); the mean AL was 22.31 ± 0.73   mm ( 21.98 ± 0.63   mm at age 3, 22.12 ± 0.69   mm at age 4, 22.34 ± 0.73   mm at age 5, and 22.49 ± 0.73   mm at age 6). Conclusions. Prevalence of myopia increases with age in children aged 3-6 years in Hebei, China. With the increase of age, CR is basically stable, and AL increases gradually. AL/CR, which is closely related to SE, can be used as an indicator to predict myopia and guide clinical work.

Abstract Background The Spot Vision Screener (SVS) is designed to detect significant ametropia, anisometropia, and strabismus in non-dilated eyes. This study evaluates the efficacy of the SVS in paediatric visual screening. Patients and Methods All children screened during the paediatric visual screening day in Lausanne in 2016 were evaluated with the SVS, conventional monocular autorefractors, and clinical orthoptic examination. Recommendations for a further eye examination of the SVS were compared with those issued from traditional clinical screenings (monocular refraction and orthoptic examination). Results One hundred and sixty-eight consecutive children were included. The median age was 3.9 years. The SVS median spherical equivalent (SE) was + 0.25 D OU and it detected seven cases of (4.2%) anisometropia (SE difference ≥ 1 D). The conventional monocular autorefractor median SE was − 0.13 D OU and 20 cases of anisometropia (11.9%) were detected. Refraction could not be measured in 1.2% of patients with SVS versus 17.2% with monocular refractors. The SVS screened two manifest strabismus cases against five manifest and > 100 latent strabismus with orthoptic examination. As expected, the SVS was unable to assess reactions to monocular occlusion, visual acuity, and stereovision as well as to detect ocular motility disorders without strabismus in the primary position, and missed two cases of abnormal Brückner reflexes. Overall, the SVS identified 66 suspect patients (39.3%) against 102 (60.7%) after complete clinical examination. Conclusions The SVS can be a useful objective screening tool for non-ophthalmologists. However, because it fails to detect ocular motility troubles, organic visual acuity loss, or to assess the visual potential, it should only be used in association with a clinical examination, even in routine screening procedures.

Aim. To compare the clinical performance of the Spot Vision Screener used to detect amblyopia risk factors (ARFs) in children before and after induction of cycloplegia; the children were referred because they met the screening criteria of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS). Methods. The Spot Vision Screener and a standard autorefractometer were used to examine 200 eyes of 100 children aged 3–10 years, before and after cycloplegia induction, in terms of ARFs. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values for the detection of significant refractive errors were measured using the AAPOS referral criteria. It was explored that Spot Screener data were affected by cycloplegia. The extent of agreement between cycloplegic/noncycloplegic photoscreening data and cycloplegic autorefraction measurements was assessed using Wilcoxon and Spearman correlation analyses. Results. The Spot’s sensitivity was improved from 60.9% to 85.3% and specificity from 94.9% to 87.4% with cycloplegia compared to cycloplegic standard autorefractometer results. The positive predictive value of Spot was 75.7%, and the negative predictive value was 90.4% without cycloplegia. With cycloplegia, the positive predictive value of Spot was 63.6% and the negative predictive value was 95.8%. Conclusions. The Spot Screener afforded moderate sensitivity and high specificity prior to cycloplegia. The sensitivity and negative predictive value improved after induction of cycloplegia. Examiners should be aware of the effects of cycloplegia on their findings.
