Abstract:
Systematic errors and bias are common problems that affect the validity and reliability of epidemiological surveys of myopia among schoolchildren and adolescents worldwide. To provide guidance for standardization of such surveys, the perniciousness, causes and control measures of errors in surveying respondents and bias during the examination and diagnosis are discussed in this article. It is emphasized that controlling systematic errors and bias is the key to ensuring the quality of an epidemiological survey of pediatric and adolescent myopia.
