About The Study: This study of 1,056 pediatric ophthalmologists found that disparities in access to pediatric ophthalmological care have increased over the past 15 years and are associated with lower socioeconomic status. As patients may rely on online sources to identify the nearest pediatric ophthalmologist, accurate publicly available databases are important.
