Evaluation of knowledge attitude and practice towards refractive errors and its impact among healthy volunteers in urban and rural areas of Kanyakumari district
Myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism are all types of refractive error. Refractory errors that go uncorrected are the leading cause of blindness around the globe. Refractive error was predicted to affect 10.2 percent of individuals in India. As a result, the current study was done to analyze the knowledge, attitude, and practice of healthy volunteers in Kanyakumari district's urban and rural areas about refractory mistakes. This study used a validated questionnaire to survey healthy volunteers from the Kanyakumari district's urban and rural areas to determine their knowledge, attitudes, and practises about refractive errors. In our study, 218 healthy volunteers from Kanyakumari district's urban and rural areas took part throughout this study. A total knowledge score for refractive error was 80.1 percent in the urban population and 51.1 percent in the rural population and The overall attitude score for refractive error was 65.15 percent in the urban population and 42.2 percent in the rural population in Kanyakumari district. In urban areas, the overall practice score for refractive error is 81.7 percent, whereas in rural areas the practice score is 62.4 percentin Kanyakumari district. Total spectacle use among study participants is 65 percent in urban Kanyakumari and 100 percent in rural Kanyakumari.
