  2. Purpose To determine the protocol compliance rate of new paediatric cases in HKEH (for age under 12) attending optometry department.

  3. Reference - Protocol For new patient under 12: • Habitual VA • Spectacle power measurement (if any) • Auto-refraction • TL if habitual VA worse than 6/9 (0.7-)

  4. Methods • Retrospective study • Paediatric new cases (age 5 to 12) • Period from Apr to Sep 2011 • Collect information on • VA • Spectacle power • Auto-refraction • Subjective refraction • Primary diagnosis • Follow up pattern

  5. Findings and observations • Total 149 patients ( 76 F, 73 M) • Age: 5 – 12.75 • 44 wear spectacles • Spectacle Rx: RE: +4.5D to -5.5D sphere, 0 to -3.5D cylinder LE: +8.25D to -5.25D sphere, 0 to -3.5D cylinder • 105 unaided or own spectacle not brought • Habitual VA: RE: 4/60 to 1.2 LE: 3/60 to 1.2- • Auto refractions were done to all patients • 65 subjective refractions (TL) were done

  8. VA status with and without glasses

  9. VA status before TL

  10. VA status after TL for RE & LE

  11. VA status after TL • Total 65 TL • 10 out of 65 VA still fail after TL (either one eye or both eyes) = 15.38 % • 55 out of 65 VA pass after TL = 84.62 %

  12. Primary Diagnosis Primary diagnosis is categorized as follow: • Refractive errors • Squint • Amblyopia • Conjunctival diseases: acute conjunctivitis; allergic conjunctivitis; vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) • Eye lid disorders: Epiblepharon; chalazion; ptosis; capillary haemangioma. • Uveitis: associated with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) • Tearing: congenital nasolacrimal passage obstruction; congenital glaucoma. • Others: RP; family history of RP; moya moya; color vision defects; brain tumour; corneal scar. • NAD

  17. Summary • 62 out of 149 (42%) patients with habitual VA failed. • With adequate refractive correction, only 10 out of 149 (6.7%) patients had failed VA. • The primary diagnosis of 62% patients are of refractive, squint or amblyopic problems. • 35% patients were discharged or Fu PRN after the first visit.

  18. Conclusion 100% protocol compliance rate were observed for new paediatric cases in HKEH attending optometry department for the first visit. i.e. • Habitual VA (100%) • Auto-refraction (100%) • Read spectacles if any (100%) • Refraction if habitual VA worse than 0.7- (100%) • 3 of the refractions even habitual VA better than 0.7- (over 100%)
