Research Article: Understanding Presbyopia in Asmara: Prevalence, Association with Refractive Error, and Age-Based Addition
Abstract:
According to Global Burden of Disease in presbyopia was estimated to be the cause of vision impairment in million people of whom million were females. It was estimated to affect . billion people around the globe in , with an unmet need of % globally. The global productivity loss of working-age group (> years) was estimated at US $ billion annually in because of uncorrected and under-corrected presbyopia. As life expectancy and demand for clear vision are increasing, presbyopia poses a significant public health concern.
Figure Near addition distribution across the age groups.Notes: Vertical line = near addition. Horizontal line = age. Figure illustrates the result of post hoc tests which were run on the addition across the age groups and the result showed there was a significant difference in the addition across the different age groups with a p-value of <..
Figure Comparison of the addition of different populations.Notes: Vertical line = near addition values. Horizontal line = age groups. The variation in addition for these populations is illustrated in Figure .
