New research from eye care nonprofit Orbis International analyzes the overall wellbeing of children with common childhood vision problems
NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study by eye care nonprofit Orbis International found that children with myopia (nearsightedness) and strabismus (misalignment of the eyes) experienced significantly reduced quality of life compared to those without vision impairment. Published in the peer-reviewed journal Ophthalmology, the study also finds that surgical treatment of strabismus improves quality of life among children, underscoring the importance of early detection, treatment, and health insurance coverage of strabismus for children. Made possible with financial support from vision company Santen, the study is the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the links between quality of life in children and vision impairment, ocular morbidities, and their treatment.
