Compliance to spectacle use in children with refractive errors- a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Background: Primary objective of this review was to measure compliance with spectacle use in children with refractive errors. Secondary objective was to understand the reasons for non-compliance. Methods: The databases searched were Ovid, EMBASE, CINAHL and Pubmed. All studies up to March, 2018 were included. The search terms were-(

“…However, this methodology is not designed to assess spectacle compliance, which is likely to be heavily impacted by adaptation that occurs during extended wear. Although prior studies have indicated that spectacle wear compliance rates can be as low as 40%, 15 which infers that as many as 60% of dispensed spectacles remain unworn, this study may provide evidence on the proportion of spectacles that are likely to be unsuitable for population needs. These insights can be used to stimulate action and provide refractive error services according to population needs—resulting in higher rates of spectacle wear.…”

“…The studies were assessed for the methodological quality based on the tool developed by Wong et al also used in a few other studies. 7 8 The checklist quality assessment tool for systematic reviews of observational studies (QATSO) ( Supplementary Table S1 ) was used to assess the quality of searched articles by two independent investigators (PC and SS). The tool consists of 6 items that assess components in observation studies and whenever the information provided was not enough to assist in making judgement for a certain item, we agreed to grade that item with a “0” meaning high risk of bias.…”

“…In our case, many students, parents, and teachers have a misunderstanding of the importance (and safeness) of wearing eyeglasses (when children have vision problems), which may lead to partial compliance [ 13 ]. Partial compliance is commonly found in eyeglass promotion programs [ 25 , 26 ]. To test this, researchers have used an instrumental variable approach to estimate the LATE version of the impact.…”
