依据《中小学生屈光不正筛查规范》开展青少年屈光不正防控工作

Implementing a prevention and control of ametropia in accordance with Specification for Screening of Refractive Error in School-age Children and Adolescents

屈光不正性视力损害已成为我国乃至全球范围内的公共卫生问题,儿童及青少年的近视防控工作已引起我国政府的高度重视,建立目标人群的视力健康档案、开展屈光不正的筛查是儿童及青少年近视防控工作的重要环节和有效措施。长期以来,由于国内外均缺乏相关的筛查标准,我国在相关筛查工作中存在开展筛查工作的主体资质和管理混乱、筛查指标欠合理及其界值不统一、筛查质量控制不佳、操作方法不规范和结果反馈不科学等问题。在国家卫生健康委员会的推动和支持下,推荐性国家卫生行业标准WS/T 663-2019《中小学生屈光不正筛查规范》于2020年1月11日正式发布并定于2020年6月1日正式实施,为我国规范性开展儿童及青少年的屈光不正筛查工作提供技术标准和指导意见。依据《中小学生屈光不正筛查规范》积极开展儿童及青少年的屈光不正筛查和防控是现阶段我国各级医疗和教育机构的重要任务和责任。
