In a population of preschool children in Los Angeles, the rates of visual impairment did not differ between Hispanic and African-American children aged 30 to 72 months. The levels of visual acuity (VA) at presentation were often lower than the best-recorded VA as the result of uncorrected refractive errors and improved test scores with re-testing, said Arezoo Kadkhoda, MD, of the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
