| Summary: Introduction: Refractive errors are often the cause of headache in children of school age. Aim: To justify systematic examinations of children under the age of five, or before they start school to the latest. Methods: A retrospective analysis was done for the year 2011 of children aging 7-14 with symptoms of headache. Objective visual acuity was determined using retinoscopy with cycloplegia. Results: 81 children (162 eyes) were examined in total. 26 children (52 eyes) were singled out with reduced visual acuity. 50% of those children suffered from hyperopia, one fifth of them had astigmatism of the right and/or left eye and the same number of children suffered from myopia. Conclusion: The highest percentage of schoolchildren with symptoms of headache had uncorrected hyperopia Key words: headache, refractive error, systematic examination, child Napomena: kompletan tekst rada na srpskom jeziku Note: full text in Serbian |
