PURPOSE: To investigate the prevalence of decreased visual acuity and uncorrected refractive error in school-aged children participating in summer programs.
METHODS: During the summers of 2014-2016, Wills Eye Hospital collaborated with summer programs in Philadelphia to provide vision screenings for underserved children. Parental consent was obtained prior to vision screening. Fail criteria included children in grades K-1 (ages 5-6) with visual acuity worse than 20/40 in either eye, children in grades 2-6 (ages 7-13) with visual acuity worse than 20/30 in either eye, or children with ≥2 lines of interocular difference. If decreased visual acuity was correctable to ≥20/30 by the onsite optometrist, two pairs of free eyeglasses were provided. Children with other ocular abnormalities were referred to pediatric ophthalmology.
RESULTS: Of 1,627 children screened, 360 children (22.1%) did not pass vision screening, and 64 (3.9%) were referred. The prevalence of decreased distance visual was 34.1%. Younger children were more likely to have worse visual acuity than older children (OR = 0.943; P = 0.023; 95% CI, 0.896-0.992). Myopia (73%), astigmatism (56.8%), hyperopia (15.5%), spherical anisometropia (12.5%), and cylindrical anisometropia (11.9%) presented in the 303 children who underwent a manifest refraction. Myopia increased with age (OR = 0.818; P = 0.001; 95% CI, 0.724-0.922), whereas astigmatism decreased (OR = 0.817; P < 0.001; 95% CI, 0.728-0.913) with age. Two pairs of glasses were provided to 301 children.
CONCLUSIONS: Partnership with summer programs and other community initiatives to provide vision screenings facilitates access to eye care ultimately aimed at improving social functioning and academic performance.
