“…In the Southwest of Nigeria, among children under the age of 15, the prevalence of problems in visual acuity was 14.3% [9], whereas in Benin, it was 9.2% among children aged 6 to 9 years old [11]. In Paris, the prevalence of visual acuity impairments was 16.5% among children in kindergarten [16]. Other studies carried out in schools found higher percentages of visual acuity impairment than our study: 22% in the North of India [12], 43.1% in Cameroon [17], and 57.2% in Tunisia [4].…”

“…Roche [13], in a randomized study in Mayotte, found a hereditary characteristic of the anomalies of refractions observed. In a study in Paris on the screening of vision anomalies among preschool children, 33% of the fathers and 41% to 43% of the mothers had ocular pathologies [16]. Visual complaints are frequent among children with visual acuity impairments.…”

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the epidemiological aspects of vision problems and their repercussions in the schooling of children in Libreville and Owendo. Methodology: This transversal and descriptive study was carried out in May and June 2011. Included in the study were children in the 7 th and 8 th grades of the primary schools in Libreville and Owendo. For each child, an eye exam, including the subjective measure of visual acuity, was carried out using the Monoyer scale, and the color vision assessment was carried out with the Ishihara test. Any visual capacity under or equal to 7/10 th in at least one eye was considered to be pathological. We gathered information about demographic characteristics, any preceding vision issues on the record, data on other medical problems on the record and the eye examination on computer cards. Results: Nine hundred and sixty-three children (416 boys and 517 girls, with a gender ratio of 0.86) were examined. The average age was 12 ± 1.7 years old. The prevalence of the drop in visual acuity was 16.2%. The prevalence of color vision anomalies was 15.5%. Complaints concerning vision problems were significantly more present from children with a drop in visual acuity (p < 0.01). Visual anomalies had an impact on the children's schoolwork, and yet, visits to the ophthalmologist's office were few. Conclusion: The frequency of anomalies in vision justifies systematic screening in schools and organization of an appropriate treatment.

“…Les auteurs soulignent des niveaux importants de risque pour les personnes sans domicile fixe, les bénéficiaires du revenu minimum d'insertion et les jeunes en insertion. D'autres études concluent dans le même sens : la population en situation de précarité est plus exposée à des maladies, voire à des accidents, que la population générale, en particulier à des troubles psychiques, mentaux et locomoteurs [4,6,15,22].…”
