    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Ophthalmology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Childhood ocular conditions represent a significant health concern.
    • Understanding the prevalence and patterns of pediatric eye diseases is crucial for early intervention and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the epidemiological patterns of ocular problems in a pediatric population.
    • To identify the most common heritable and non-heritable eye conditions in children within a specific geographic region.

    Main Methods:

    • A cross-sectional study involving the examination of 3,490 children.
    • Data collection on the types and prevalence of various ocular conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Heritable eye diseases were prevalent in 41.49% of the children studied.
    • Common heritable conditions included refractive errors, nasolacrimal duct block, and primary squint.
    • Prevalent non-heritable conditions included conjunctivitis, trauma, foreign bodies, blepharitis, and nutritional diseases.

    Conclusions:

    • Heritable conditions constitute a major burden of pediatric eye disease.
    • Non-heritable factors like infections and injuries are also significant contributors to childhood visual impairment.
    • Public health initiatives should address both genetic predispositions and environmental factors impacting children's eye health.
