A Comparative Analysis of Myopia Prevalence Among Madarsa Students vs. Non-Madarsa Students in Sukkur
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
Myopia (nearsightedness) has become a major global health concern, particularly among students, due to factors such as prolonged screen time, close-up work, and limited outdoor activities. In regions like Sukkur, Pakistan, the educational environments and lifestyles of students in Madarsas (religious schools) differ significantly from those in non-Madarsa (regular) schools, potentially influencing the prevalence of myopia. This comparative cross-sectional study aims to assess and compare the prevalence of myopia among Madarsa and non-Madarsa students in Sukkur.
