Incidence of Refractive Errors in Victims of Chemical Weapons as Delayed Effects

These refractive errors are presumably long‐term (delayed) effects of sulfur mustard exposure. However, no related research studies have been done to confirm this. Myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism are the refractive errors of the eye and prevalence of these errors depends on several factors such as hereditary...
