The participants totalled 1551 (response rate 76.8%) elementary and junior high school children (41.5% boys and 58.5% girls) from the northeast of Iran. Cycloplegic autorefraction was used to determine refractive error. Myopia was defined as a spherical equivalent (SE) of \u22120.50 dioptre (D) or worse, hyperopia as a SE of +2.00 D or more, and astigmatism as cylinder equal to or worse than \u22120.75 D.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                      The prevalence of uncorrected, habitual and optimal visual acuity of 6\/12 (0.30 logMAR) or worse in the better eye was 2.2%, 1.0%, and 0.2% respectively. The prevalence rates of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism were 4.3% (95%CI: 3.3\u20135.3), 5.4% (95%CI: 4.3\u20136.5) and 11.5% (95%CI: 9.9\u201313.1) respectively and were not related to gender. The prevalence of myopia and against\u2010the\u2010rule astigmatism increased significantly with age (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2003&lt;\u20030.0001).

Whilst comparisons with other studies show that the prevalence of hyperopia and astigmatism in Northeastern Iran is higher than that of some countries, it is lower compared with others.\n
