Spectacle Prescribing in Early Childhood

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to compare developmental outcome for young children (12 to 35 months of age) with astigmatism meeting American Academy of Ophthalmology spectacle prescribing guidelines and who are prescribed and provided spectacles for either Full-Time wear (encouraged and reinforced) or Ad Lib wear (wear dependent on child acceptance).
