“An ongoing national eye study using La Puente as a template is now trying to determine why Latinos are at high risk for eye disease and other vision problems.
Throughout the next year, the Los Angeles Latino Eye Study will continue to give free follow-up eye examinations to 6,537 La Puente residents, officials said.
