Introduction: Universal visual health screenings of schoolchildren are of great importance from a public health point of view, enabling early intervention in cases identified with visual deficiency, coinciding with the period in which intensive school work begins. Objective: To present population epidemiological data on visual acuity deficiency among participating third-grade students. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study, with population sampling. The students who participated were in the third grade at municipal elementary schools (n=422; 8 to 12 years old; M=8.6±0.6 years; 52% girls) in Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Keystone Vision stereoscopic equipment was used to assess visual acuity for distance and near, with monocular and binocular testing, with non-compressive occlusion of one eye. Results: According to the criteria of the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the ICD-10, 31% of the participants had visual loss for distance and 37% for near, in one or both eyes. According to the ICD-11, 13% of the participants had impaired visual acuity for distance and 17% for near. Of these participants, 9% were referred for ophthalmological evaluation. Conclusions: A high prevalence of visual health alterations was identified in the participants, which reinforces the importance, from the public health point of view, of universal screening of the visual health of schoolchildren. These descriptive epidemiological data can help health and education professionals in decision-making.
