Associations of postural asymmetry with refractive error: an objective photogrammetric analysis in students

Key Points

• Postural asymmetry significantly associates with refractive errors like anisometropia, suggesting that alignment matters for eye health.
• Data shows distinct links between head tilt, poor writing posture, and specific refractive errors, like myopia.
• The observational analysis involved photogrammetric methods to measure postural alignments in students' daily environments.
• These findings imply a need for postural assessments in strategies for managing myopia, especially in educational settings.
