An Evaluation of The Effects of Online Education During The COVID-19 Pandemic on The Refraction Values of Children With Myopia

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in refraction values in children receiving online education because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: Fifty-six patients under the age of 18 who received distance education during the pandemic period, had at least 6 hours of screen exposure and were prescribed spectacles were included in the study. Visual acuity was measured with Snellen Chart. The refraction values seen by the patient were recorded and his records were scanned retrospectively. Refraction values in 2020 were compared with refraction values in 2018 and 2019. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
