Uncorrected refractive errors are important causes of avoidable visual impairment in Hungary: re-evaluation of two existing national data sets.

Aim: To review existing data for the prevalence of corrected, uncorrected, and inadequately corrected refractive errors and spectacle wear in Hungary.

Methods: Data from two nationwide cross-sectional studies were analysed. The Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness study collected population-based representative national data on the prevalence of visual impairment due to uncorrected refractive errors and spectacle coverage in 3523 people aged ≥50y (Group I).

Introduction: The World Health Organisation's VISION 2020 and World report on vision programs prioritize blindness prevention and vision rehabilitation development. The ophthalmology program, which is part of Hungary's comprehensive health care screening program, plays an important role in the national implementation of these.

Objective: Summary of the results of Hungary's comprehensive health care screening program's ophthalmology program, which has been going on for 12 years.

Prevalence of refractive errors in Hungary reveals three-fold increase in myopia.

Aim: To examine the prevalence and composition of refractive errors in Hungary.

Methods: Nationwide cross-sectional data collected between 2014 and 2019 were analysed from the Comprehensive Health Screening Program of Hungary, which provided spectacle dioptric power and autorefractometry data for 68 227 people (35 850 women and 32 377 men). Their age distribution, 18-99y, was similar to the national demographic distributions.

The harmful effects represent an important public health problem in tha world. Our aim is to report and compare the results of screenings performed in Hungary's Comprehensive Health Screening Program 2010-2020-2030 (MÁESZ) with international data. During the 9-year continuous screening, we analyzed the data of 71 922 women and 60 934 men in the 18-80-year-old population and examined the occurrence of regular daily smokers.
