Purpose of the Study:

To identify barriers to parental consent and compliance with preschool vision screening tests.
To assess parental adherence to recommended follow-up eye care after vision screening.
To explore factors influencing parental participation in PVS programs.

Main Methods:

Prospective study involving 1511 children aged 3-6 years across 46 preschools.
Parental consent obtained for vision screening.

Standardized questionnaires administered via telephone to parents who did not consent or whose child failed screening.

Main Results:

High parental consent rate (85.7%) for PVS.
Primary reasons for non-consent were unawareness or logistical issues (92.1%).
80.0% of parents whose children failed screening adhered to follow-up care; native language speakers and native-born parents showed higher adherence.

Conclusions:

Overall parental cooperation with PVS and follow-up care is high.
Migrant families encounter greater challenges in adhering to PVS recommendations.
Tailored strategies are needed to address the specific needs of diverse populations in PVS programs.
