“…Regarding the economic aspect, our study showed that most of patients (36.23%) had monthly income between 2 to 6 minimum wages. A study conducted in 1999 in the city of Curitiba (12) pointed out that the population has an average monthly expense of 3.9% of the family income directed to health assistance in the acquisition, maintenance and care of glasses and contact lenses, corresponding to an average 0.4 minimum wages per year. Converting those numbers into the current minimum wage (R$ 788.00), and considering the latest Household Budget Survey (13) , there is no significant difference regarding the part of the minimum wage annually spent on the acquisition, storage and maintenance of glasses and contact lenses.…”

Most of the subjects had completed high school (41.7%), followed by 19.9% who had completed higher-level education.The majority of former studies showed a predominance of users and/or carers with low education (Castellano et al, 1999;Colossi, 2004). However, as in the present work, there are reports of a prevalence of individuals with higher-level education (Herc, Berezovsky, 2006;Benazzi, Figueiredo, Banassi, 2010).…”

“…Formal education level of most participants, who had completed high school, was a different finding from other studies in which most patients who sought eye care had had low level of formal education.
