Optometry plays a key role in the provision of vision care services at the San Bernardino Juvenile Hall (SBJH), where 400 juvenile offenders, aged 12 to 18 years, are incarcerated. This program in San Bernardino, California, was established in 1979 by a practicing optometrist with support from federal, state, and local funding agencies. It operates as an outreach clinical program to train senior students of the Southern California College of Optometry for professional practice opportunities in a nontraditional setting. An important component of the SBJH program is an ongoing clinical research program to study the relation between vision problems and juvenile delinquency, and the effect of vision training on the rehabilitation of delinquent youths. Preliminary data indicate a reduction in the recidivism rate for this population group.
验光配镜在圣贝纳迪诺青少年拘留所（SBJH）的视力保健服务中发挥着关键作用，该拘留所关押着400名年龄在12至18岁的青少年罪犯。加利福尼亚州圣贝纳迪诺的这个项目于1979年由一名执业验光师在联邦、州和地方资助机构的支持下设立。它作为一个外展临床项目运作，为南加州验光学院的高年级学生提供在非传统环境中的专业实践机会。SBJH项目的一个重要组成部分是一项正在进行的临床研究项目，旨在研究视力问题与青少年犯罪之间的关系，以及视力训练对违法青少年康复的影响。初步数据表明，这一人群的累犯率有所降低。
