Abstract
Background &Purpose: The refractory errors usually lead to various musculoskeletal problems due to a continuous overexertion of accommodation and vergence. This study was conducted to investigate the refractive error and their impact on the cervical spine.
Methods: A total of 106 subjects were recruited after satisfying inclusion criteria and informed written consent. The subjects were asked to fill the questionnaire related to neck discomfort and refractory errors by Goggle forms. Based on whether the subjects wear spectacles or not they are divided into Group A subjects wearing spectacles and group B subjects with non-spectacles. Later the subjects were divided on the basis of refractory error into 4 subgroups, group M (Myopia), group H (Hyperopia), Group P (Presbyopia) and Group T (Astigmatism).
Results: The mean neck discomfort levels were higher in Group A than Group B and the results showed us that there was a statistically significant difference at p<0.05. The neck discomfort levels were higher in Myopia subjects (group M) but the results were not statistically significant
Conclusion: Myopia is the most common refractive error in young adult population .The subjects wearing spectacles have a large impact on neck discomfort in comparison with the subjects not wearing spectacles.
