Abstract

Studies describe poor follow-up among children in ophthalmology prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the pandemic led to worse adherence for routine medical care in children, little information exists on pediatric ophthalmology follow-up adherence during COVID-19. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on follow-up adherence for children with eye disease, and identified characteristics associated with follow-up adherence.
