(Snellen chart, autorefractometer, retinoscope, trial case, E card test, finger cube test, hand card test, catford
drum test, Sheridan gardiner test and prism bar).
After conducting the necessary statistical methods and tests, it revealed that the most factor has more effect
is the number of hours of using mobile phone devices and the children between (6-8) years were the most
