Improving spectacle wear in school children

Abstract

Spectacle compliance is low in many school eye health programmes. There are various reasons for this, including that children do not perceive a beneficial improvement in their vision. Accurate visual acuity (VA) measurement, refraction and prescribing based on the degree of improvement in VA can also help.
