The overall prevalence of spectacles use was 29.5% (95% confidence interval 28.5\u201330.4), 30.3% (95% confidence interval 29.0\u201331.6) in rural area compared with 27.9% (95% confidence interval 26.1\u201329.7) (<jats:italic><jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">P<\/jats:styled-content><\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) in urban location. Bifocals (72.8%) were the most common type of spectacles. Private eye clinics were the leading spectacles provider in all three regions. On applying multiple logistic regression, the odds of spectacles use increased with increasing age and were significantly higher for rural residents and those with higher levels of education. The spectacle coverage was 38.0% and 27% for refractive errors and presbyopia, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although prevalence of spectacles use is moderate, the spectacle coverage for both refractive errors and presbyopia is low.
