description PURPOSE: To identify the prevalence and determinants of self-reported eye care utilization in Latinos. DESIGN: Population-based ocular epidemiological study in Latinos age 40+ living in La Puente, California. PARTICIPANTS: 5,455 participants. METHODS: Univariate, multivariable and stepwise logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify predisposing, enabling and need variables associated with self-reported eye care utilization. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Prevalence of self-reported utilization: eye care visit, having had a dilated examination in the past 12 months, ever having had a dilated examination, and odds ratios for factors associated with self-reported utilization. RESULTS: Overall, 36% of participants reported an eye care visit and 19% reported having a dilated examination in the past year. Fifty-seven percent reported ever having had a dilated eye examination. Greater eye care utilization was associated with older age, female gender, bilingual language proficiency (English and Spanish), more education, having health insurance, having a usual place for care, having a regular provider of care, greater number of co-morbidities, visual impairment, and lower vision-specific quality of life scores. CONCLUSIONS: Increasing utilization and access to eye care for Latinos should be a priority because visual impairment has significant impacts on well-being and mortality.
