Purpose: Many parents are concerned about their child's development. The purpose of this study is to determine whether parental concerns about overall development are associated with significant refractive errors among urban preschool children.
Methods: A cross-sectional population-based study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of ocular disorders in white and African American children aged 6 through 71 months in Baltimore, Maryland.
Objective: To determine the age-specific prevalence of strabismus in white and African American children aged 6 through 71 months and of amblyopia in white and African American children aged 30 through 71 months.
Design: Cross-sectional, population-based study.
Participants: White and African American children aged 6 through 71 months in Baltimore, MD, United States.
Objective: To compare the results of fixation preference testing and standardized visual acuity testing in white and black children aged 30 through 71 months.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Participants: The Baltimore Pediatric Eye Disease Study is a population-based evaluation of the prevalence of vision disorders in children aged 6 through 71 months in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
Purpose: To describe methods and results and to assess the value of a Traveling Vision Examiner (TVE) Program designed to provide masked vision measurements by expert vision examiners who were independent of, and traveled to, local clinical centers.
Methods: The Submacular Surgery Trials (SST) Pilot Study was conducted to refine the design and methods for a set of multicenter, randomized clinical trials to evaluate submacular surgery in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or ocular histoplasmosis (OHS), or idiopathic CNV in which the primary study outcome would be change in 2-year best-corrected vision from baseline. As part of the SST Pilot Study, the feasibility and value of a TVE Program was assessed.
