An anonymous prospective survey was carried out of children under 8 years of age prescribed a first pair of spectacles from the Royal Berkshire Hospital between August 1995 and May 1996, focusing on compliance in relation to refractive error, visual status and social factors. One hundred and thirty-three children were surveyed. Mean compliance was high (79.5/100) and spectacles were well liked by most children. Improvement in vision had little or no relationship with compliance. Significant factors were fit and what friends said about the spectacles. Adverse comments were rare, especially in the younger children, but increased with age. In pre-school children spectacles did not appear to be the salient feature in negative social judgements that has been found to occur in adults.
1995年8月至1996年5月期间，对在皇家伯克郡医院首次配镜的8岁以下儿童进行了一项匿名前瞻性调查，重点关注与屈光不正、视力状况和社会因素相关的依从性。共调查了133名儿童。平均依从性较高（79.5/100），大多数儿童很喜欢眼镜。视力改善与依从性几乎没有关系。重要因素是眼镜的佩戴舒适度以及朋友对眼镜的评价。负面评价很少见，尤其是在年幼的儿童中，但随着年龄增长而增加。在学龄前儿童中，眼镜似乎并不是已发现的在成年人中出现的负面社会评价中的显著特征。
