Prevalence and factors associated with eyeglass wear compliance among preschoolers from low-income families in San Francisco, California

JAMA Ophthalmology Feb 22, 2021

Sabharwal S, Nakayoshi A, Lees CR, et al. - In this longitudinal cross-sectional study involving 188 preschool students (91 boys [49%]; 94 girls [51%]; mean [SD] age, 3.89 [0.5] years), researchers sought to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with eyeglass wear compliance among preschoolers from low-income families who receive eyeglasses through the See Well to Learn program. Baseline uncorrected visual acuity was significantly linked to consistent eyeglass wear. The authors discovered that almost 3 out of 4 preschool students consistently wore their glasses at school during their first year of use, promoting the continued implementation of preschool-based vision screening programs. Such results indicate that programs involving school-based screening and eyeglass delivery may reduce disparities in accessing pediatric vision care. Students with poorer uncorrected baseline visual acuity were found to be more likely to wear eyeglasses compliantly, in line with previous studies.
