Abstract

The article focuses on the knowledge and behavior of the Hispanic population regarding vision care. Dr. Julio Rojas stresses that in his Spanish-speaking patient population, he finds undiagnosed systemic medical issues impacting eye health, a lack of education on preventive issues, and patients who skipped appointments. Some of his patients believe that they do not need an eye exam if they do not have trouble in seeing, and they are unfamiliar with available vision treatments.
