| Abstract |
|
Refractions were performed in healthy 60 newborn babies, 31 males and 29 females, by retinoscopy after instillation of 1% tropicamide in order to investigate the distribution of refractive states of newborn babies. Average refractive error is +1.51 +/- 2.23D in male, +1.93 +/- 1.78D in female, and +1.17 +/- 2.03D in general. 72.5% of them were hypermetropia, 10.0% were emmetropia, and 12.5% were myopia. There was no significant difference according to sex, laterality, birth weight, and method of delivery(p>0.1). |
