A standardized record card was used to collect data on medical history; keratometry; objective refraction; uncorrected, presenting, and best-corrected visual acuity (VA); examination of the pupils, adnexa, and anterior segment; direct ophthalmoscopy; posterior segment and fundus examination; and assessment for ocular pathology.

The prevalence of uncorrected, presenting, and best-corrected VI in the better eye was 9.0%, 2.51%, and 0.10%, respectively. The following variables were associated with presenting VI: age 10-16 years, family history of myopia, female sex, family history of keratoconus, and hypertension. Myopia is the main cause of VI (82.6%). A total of 96% of children with presenting VI had correctable VI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Correctable VI because of myopia is an important public health problem in school-age children in Italy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5301\/ejo.5000733","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,1,8]],"date-time":"2016-01-08T05:01:39Z","timestamp":1452229299000},"page":"379-384","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Prevalence and Risk Factors of Vision Impairment among Children of Employees of Telecom, Italy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Carlo","family":"Nucci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Unit, Department of Experimental Medicine and Surgery, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincenza","family":"Cofini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences, University of L'Aquila, L'Aquila - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raffaele","family":"Mancino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Unit, Department of Experimental Medicine and Surgery, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Ricci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Unit, Department of Experimental Medicine and Surgery, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessio","family":"Martucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Unit, Department of Experimental Medicine and Surgery, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Rosita","family":"Cecilia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences, University of L'Aquila, L'Aquila - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincenzo","family":"Ciciarelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Medicine and Aging Sciences, University G d'Annunzio Chieti-Pescara, Chieti - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Zazzara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences, University of L'Aquila, L'Aquila - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claudio","family":"Cedrone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Unit, Department of Experimental Medicine and Surgery, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ferdinando","family":"di Orio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Life, Health and Environmental Sciences, University of L'Aquila, L'Aquila - Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-ejo.5000733","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
