Background: Modern workplace requirements in the banking sector require bankers to work on screens for more than 6 h a day, putting much stress and strain on their eyes, which leads to computer vision syndrome. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the prevalence of computer vision syndrome and associated factors among urban and rural bankers in Trinidad and Tobago.
Methods And Materials: A cross-sectional design was applied to collect data from 399 bankers between April and June 2023.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of self-reported myopia in Trinidad and Tobago.
Materials And Methods: This study was a cross-sectional design, and data were collected using a validated structured questionnaire from January to April 2024. Systematic random sampling was used to select participants aged 15 and above to participate.
: Dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting reading skills, poses significant challenges to children's academic performance and quality of life. Despite its rising prevalence and adverse effects, understanding of its relationship with vision anomalies remains limited, particularly in low-resource settings like Nigeria. This study aims to assess the prevalence of binocular vision anomalies (BVAs) among children with and without dyslexia in Kano, Nigeria.

- Low vision is a major global health issue that affects individuals' personal, economic, psychological, and social well-being, leading to significant risks of falls, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
- The review analyzed data from 35 studies with over 175,000 participants, finding an overall global prevalence of falls among those with low vision to be 17.7%, with variations across regions, peaking at 35.5% in Australia.
- The study highlights that fear of falling and the severity of visual impairment notably increase the likelihood of falls, stressing the need for effective strategies from various stakeholders to tackle this problem.
Purpose: To assess the prevalence of ocular morbidities and associated factors among hearing-impaired (HI) students at the Embangweni School for the Deaf in Mzimba, Malawi.
Methods: This was an institutional cross-sectional study of HI students at Embangweni School for the Deaf. A series of optometric and audiometric tests was performed, and the results were exported to the Statistical Package for Social Science for statistical analysis (SPSS) version 25.
