Uncorrected refractive errors are some of common diseases worldwide and in particular Iran. Although heredity is one of the most important factors of this sickness, this factor cannot be alone depended on because many various factors are involved in. The most important types of uncorrected refractive errors are Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism. If refractive errors are not determined and then corrected, they will lead to other consequences such as vision loss, and accordingly weakened education, job, and life, tiredness, neurological and psychological consequences, dizziness, nausea, depression, strabismus (deviation of the eyes), etc. Thus if effective factors on uncorrected refractive errors are not realized early, they can change from a small problem in to bigger one and sometimes irreparable problem. One of interesting methods to determine important factors of disease in medical issues is statistical Logit model fitness. This model has satisfactory characteristics, frequently used in medical issues. The most important feature is its linearity.

Abstract


Uncorrected refractive errors are some of common diseases worldwide and in particular Iran. Although heredity is one of the most important factors of this sickness, this factor cannot be alone depended on because many various factors are involved in. The most important types of uncorrected refractive errors are Myopia, Hyperopia, and Astigmatism. If refractive errors are not determined and then corrected, they will lead to other consequences such as vision loss, and accordingly weakened education, job, and life, tiredness, neurological and psychological consequences, dizziness, nausea, depression, strabismus (deviation of the eyes), etc. Thus if effective factors on uncorrected refractive errors are not realized early, they can change from a small problem in to bigger one and sometimes irreparable problem. One of interesting methods to determine important factors of disease in medical issues is statistical Logit model fitness. This model has satisfactory characteristics, frequently used in medical issues. The most important feature is its linearity.
