Abstract

Based on differences in prevalence of myopia noted in underrepresented populations we investigated whether similar patterns might be observed in college students. Participants who identified as Latino/a showed significantly different results than others. Findings ,may suggest that researchers investigating asthenopia should take these demographic differences into consideration.
