Purpose:
Uncorrected refractive error (URE) remains a major cause of preventable vision impairment in the pediatric population with large inequities in disease burden. The present study aims to elucidate the global burden of pediatric URE and explore the current lens delivery systems which address this problem. Within this framework, we introduce a new model of corrective lens delivery that may improve upon existing models.
Methods:
The present study involved an extensive literature review of epidemiological data to determine the global prevalence of URE. Prevalence data was then compared against WHO data on refractionist coverage gaps divided by region. …
