Text messages help kids see better: study tests simple fix for missed eye appointments
NCT ID NCT06616051
Summary
This study tested whether sending automated text message reminders to parents could help more children get needed follow-up eye care. Researchers screened 80 schoolchildren in Pakistan for vision problems and randomly assigned those who needed care to either receive just a paper referral form or the form plus text reminders. The goal was to see if the text messages, which included health tips and directions, increased the number of children who actually visited the hospital for an eye exam within eight weeks.
