Description
Jenna Hart, Patrice Hicks, and co-authors link poor zones to more sight loss and blindness in the United States, in work from 2026. The study uses small tract counts for the whole land. Each tract gets a want score that blends pay, school, and work traits.
More than eighty thousand tracts were in the study. Tracts with more want held more folks who told of sight strain or blindness. The link held when age, sex, roots, and state were weighed in. Eye teams can use tract want scores to aim screens at blocks with most need and least care.
