Using Adjustable-Focus Spectacles in Young Children to Meet Increasing Eyecare Needs

Zhao et al assess self-refraction using adjustable-focus spectacles in children aged 5 to 11 years. This concern touches on a number of public health issues, including changing myopia prevalence, clinician shortages, access to adequate vision care, and health equity. Providing an efficient, compact, and mobile means to address vision screening and refractive correction, especially in resource-limited areas, has particular importance for pediatric patients who need simple refractive correction in order to thrive educationally and ultimately in society.
