“…The wide variations in reported prevalence have been attributed to differences in the description of specific ophthalmic disorders [1,2], differences in the sources of data (ranging from military health records to screening eye examinations) [1,2,4,6,9,10] and differences in measured ocular health criteria [2]. Existing literature on ophthalmic disorders among the military is dominated by reports on refractive errors, especially myopia [1,7,9,11,13]; however, colour vision defects [1,10], strabismus [1], glaucoma/ocular hypertension [1], sequelae of eye injuries [3, 4] and non-specific disorders of the ocular anterior and posterior segments [2] have all been reported.…”
