“In 2016, the percentage of children aged 6–17 years who wear eyeglasses or contact lenses was higher among girls (35.9%) compared with boys (29.1%). Girls aged 6–9 years (20.8%) and 14-17 years (51.4%) were more likely than boys of the same age group (15.4% and 38.1%, respectively) to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses.
