“…extended the guidelines in their study and found that 7% of the participants would benefit from spectacle correction. Besides, adherence to glasses wearing has been reported to be associated with improved VA in amblyopic children and visual‐motor function in ametropic preschoolers . However, a rather low prevalence of spectacle wearing was detected (1.26%) in the former study .…”

Effect sizes were always moderate to large, whether participants were younger or older children, or whether the aetiology was refractive or strabismic. Thus, optical treatment of amblyopia should be considered prior to other treatment in those with refractive error. Improved acuity before initiating other treatment would presumably make occlusion or penalisation less onerous and may improve compliance with further treatment.

“…Objective monitoring of patient compliance with prescribed treatments provides valuable information for the clinical management of patients, as well as understanding research outcomes. Strategies have been designed to objectively monitor both ocular patching and spectacle wear to better assess treatment success for individuals with amblyopia . In addition, objective monitoring of spectacle wear may be useful in determining patient preference or dependence upon spectacle prescriptions for conditions such as latent hyperopia.…”

“…Thermosensors are available commercially and commonly used in the food and drug industry to monitor temperature for shipment and storage of temperature‐sensitive cargo. Several laboratories have evaluated with relatively good success the ability of thermosensor data loggers to objectively monitor spectacle wear when affixed to spectacles . One of the limitations in adopting these devices to monitor spectacle wear is environmental conditions that may mask the ability to observe temperature changes expected as a consequence of spectacle wear …”

Background: This study investigates the utility of a temperature sensor data logger to monitor spectacle compliance for future application in research and clinical settings. Specifically, the question of whether warm versus cold climates negatively impact accuracy of the sensor to monitor spectacle wear is investigated. Methods: Fifty adults from Houston, Texas (summer) and 40 adults from Columbus, Ohio (winter) wore a thermosensor on their spectacles for one week while keeping wear-time logs. Temperatures during reported spectacle wear (ON) were compared to temperatures during non-wear (OFF) between sites. Two methods to approximate wear time were evaluated by percent error with respect to subject-reported wear time. Method 1 filtered temperatures, classifying the range of 28.4 to 35.2 C as wear. Method 2 utilised examiners interpreting temperature versus time plots. Separate analysis of periods of reported outdoor wear was performed to identify the percentage of time examiners correctly identified wear. Results: Group mean ON temperatures did not differ between sites (p = 0.72), but group mean OFF temperatures were significantly warmer in Houston (Houston: 24.7 AE 2.0 C, Columbus: 20.3 AE 2.1 C; p < 0.0001). Median percent error of the filtering technique to approximate subject reported wear time was 4 per cent for Houston and −8 per cent for Columbus. Median percent error for examiner 1: Houston 1 per cent, Columbus 0 per cent; median percent error for examiner 2: Houston 3 per cent, Columbus 0 per cent. Houston outdoor wear was correctly identified 88 and 97 per cent of the time by the examiners versus 79 and 81 per cent for Columbus. Conclusion: Despite environmental temperature differences, measured temperatures during spectacle wear were similar across subjects and median percent error was less than 10 per cent for both wear time approximation methods. The device studied was effective for objectively monitoring spectacle wear in both warm and cold climates with the caveat that subjects spent the majority of time indoors.
