Abstract
Among Head Start preschool children, the prevalence of amblyopia and strabismus was similar among 5 racial/ethnic groups. Prevalence of significant refractive errors, specifically hyperopia, astigmatism, and anisometropia, varied by group, with the highest rate of hyperopia in non-Hispanic whites, and the highest rates of astigmatism and anisometropia in Hispanics.
