Hydroxychloroquine Intake Impacts ONL Thinning.

A recent study in Ophthalmic Epidemiology examined vision screening results of children in schools in western South Dakota with Title 1 or non-Title 1 designations to investigate the link between poverty and vision. The study found that children from lower socioeconomic statuses may have higher rates of amblyopia risk factors and uncorrected refractive errors, highlighting the need for healthcare policies and vision screening programs to address these disparities. The study also noted a higher prevalence of astigmatism referrals in Title 1 students compared to non-Title 1 students, suggesting further investigation into potential racial differences in vision care.
