Refractive Profiles in Children Receiving School-Based Eye Exams Following Vision Screening from a Large School-Based Vision Program in 2016 to 2022.

Purpose: To describe refractive error findings and associated factors in students who received school-based eye exams following vision screenings.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of pre-kindergarten through 12 grade students who failed vision screening and underwent a school-based eye exam in the Northeast region of the United States during 2016-2022. Non-cycloplegic autorefraction and visual acuity measurements were used to categorize refractive error by type and severity.
