A Refractive Errow Analysis On A VOSH Mission To La Esperanza, Honduras.

Inhabitants of la Esperanza, Honduras and neighboring villages were examined by a Michigan VOSH group. The resulting data compared favorably to other studies conducted in similar areas. The majority of patients examined revealed a slightly hyperopic visual status with only a few myopic individuals. When astigmatism was found it was a low degree and often oriented against the rule. Presbyopia occurred at an earlier age as compared to the United States population.
