Abstract Background: Refractive error in children aged 5-15 years is an important public health problem. Myopia and hypermetropia are leading cause of refractive errors in children in this age group. Both which are visually impairing conditions that can be significantly improved through adequate refractive correction. Population based refractive error studies in children have shows that nearly half of the visual impairment associated with correctable refractive error in this age group in not receiving attention specially those children living in disadvantaged social and economic condition Methods: This is an observational study. One hundred children of a village Darisharifpur, upazilla- Bera, district Pabna were studied in Random sampling method. Data were collected from children aged between 9-15 years. Refractive error with other related variables were enclosed with data and and that were analyzed. Results:100 children of village with visual problem or symptoms related to visual acuity were examined and prevalence of refractive error in my study 11%. Myopia (72.72%) is more common refractive error my study, myopia 46%, hypermetropia 25%, astigmatism 27%. Majority (63.63%) of refractive error was found in between -0.50D to -1.99D in my study . In my study majority of refractive errors are within 6/9 to 6/18. Conclusions: Myopia and hypermetropia are leading cause of refractive errors in children in this age group. Both which are visually impairing conditions that can be significantly improved through adequate refractive correction.
