Economic and educational factors played roles in the development of regional vision impairment in Shandong province, China

Abstract We analyze regional factors and spatial distribution of children's vision impairment in Shandong province, to explore the spatial changes brought by time and their influencing factors, so as to provide scientific basis for prevention of childhood vision impairment. This study covers fi...
