Data Was Entered By Using Epi-Data Version3 and analysed with statistical package for social l science20.Tables And graphs were used to display descriptive statistics, And logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. At p<0.05, statistical significance was inferred.
Results: Refractive error was detected in 42 (20.4%) of study participants. The average age was 40.69 ± 20.77.There were 120 men and 85 women in this group (58.5%and41.6%, respectively). Myopia (51.2%) was the most common refractive defect.
Conclusion & recommendation: Refractive error is a wide spread problem in our study area that affects people of all age groups. We recommend patients to have screening on regular basis so that refractive anomalies can be detected early.
