Article Synopsis
- * While most parameters like temperature and pH met WHO standards, heavy metals such as cadmium and lead exceeded safe limits in certain tributaries, indicating serious contamination issues.
- * The PCA revealed that pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), and other factors significantly impacted water quality, leading to the conclusion that specific tributaries are unsuitable for drinking, and highlights the need to address heavy metal contamination in future water management strategies.
Refractive errors (myopia and hyperopia) are the most common visual disorders and are severe risk factors for secondary ocular pathologies. The development of refractive errors has been shown to be associated with changes in ocular axial length, suggested to be induced by outer retinal elements. Thus, the present study systematically reviewed the literature examining retinal function as assessed using global flash electroretinograms (gfERGs) in human clinical refractive error populations.
