Abstract

Background: The more society develops, the more use of electronics, requiring the eyes to work continuously for many hours, leading to an increasing frequency of refractive errors, especially in student groups. Objective: Research to determine the current status of refractive errors of first-year students at Hai Duong University of Medical Technology. Research subjects and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 518 first-year students of Hai Duong University of Medical Technology from September 2022 to May 2023. Results: In a total of 518 researched subjects, the female/male ratio was 1.71, subjects from rural areas were the most popular, at 76.3%. The rate of refractive errors was 68.7%, myopia was 82.3%, and moderate myopia was 66.3%. The rate of wearing suitable glasses accounted for 45.7%. The rate of examination at the hospital was 17.2%, at the clinic with specialist doctors/physicians was 19.5%. Conclusion: The rate of refractive error was high, mainly myopia, and many students wore glasses with the wrong number.
