“…Headache is the most frequently reported pain symptom in Danish schoolchildren (Pedersen 2015). Studies have found that more than 20% of schoolchildren report asthenopia including headache (Abdi et al 2008;Vilela et al 2015). Although the aetiology of asthenopia is diverse, it is well documented that children with convergence insufficiency exophoria (CIE) exhibit a significantly higher degree of asthenopia compared to children with normal binocular function (Borsting et al , 2003.…”

“…A meta-analysis revealed that CIE and hypermetropia are more prevalent among poor readers than normal readers (Simons & Gassler 1988). The evidence supporting uncorrected moderate hypermetropia as a cause of asthenopia is sparse and equivocal, although some studies have found a higher degree of asthenopia among moderately hypermetropic children compared to emmetropic children (Abdi & Rydberg 2005;Abdi et al 2008;Ip et al 2008;Junghans et al 2010).…”

Background To determine the sensitivity and specificity of school nurse screening for hypermetropia and convergence insufficiency exophoria (CIE) in schoolchildren. Methods Near point of convergence and distance visual acuity with +2.00D lenses were measured in 2097 children (6–15 years) during standard school nurse screening in the municipality of Randers, Denmark. One hundred and ninety‐four children with positive screening results (near point of convergence >10 cm and/or distance visual acuity improved or maintained with +2.00D) and 182 controls with negative screening results received a full vision assessment, including cycloplegic refraction and orthoptic evaluation. Results Sensitivity and specificity of screening was 0.75 and 0.69 for CIE and 0.59 and 0.87 for hypermetropia (≥+2.00), respectively. While precision of screening for CIE was significantly higher for symptomatic children aged 9–15 than for younger and asymptomatic children, precision of screening for hypermetropia was independent of age and presence of visually related symptoms. Conclusion While precision of screening for CIE and hypermetropia (>+2.00) was low, additional vision evaluation of children older than 9 years with asthenopic symptoms identified most children with CIE with a low absolute number of false positives.

Dioptric error in the spectacles was quite low. However, there may be a small amount of axis deviation at the time of mounting the lens to the frame. We conclude that asthenopic complaints due to PE caused by the decentralization of the optic center of the lenses are quite important. Examination of the spectacles after they are prepared can be deemed as a solution to reduce asthenopic complaints due to improper spectacles.

Orthoptic Findings and Asthenopia in a Population of Swedish Schoolchildren Aged 6 to 16 Years

Abstract: Asthenopia was significantly associated with uncorrected visual acuity < or = 0.65 and with myopia (spherical equivalent -0.50 D or less) among Swedish schoolchildren.
