Causes of vision loss at China’s largest blind school during a period of significant economic growth: 2008-2016

Journal of AAPOS May 30, 2020

Huang L, Silva ONN, Wu Y, et al. - In the present study, the researchers sought to examine the different causes of vision loss and school-based treatment regimens at Quanzhou Blind School (QBS), China’s largest blind school, in 2008 and 2016. One hundred forty-four students received comprehensive eye examinations along with a complete family and ophthalmic history in 2008 and 125 students were examined in 2016. Based on WHO guidelines, vision loss was categorized into visual impairment and blindness classifications. The leading cause of visual impairment between 2008 and 2016 shifted from corneal scarring to retinopathy of prematurity, whereas congenital cataracts remained the leading cause of blindness.
